DANIEL MALLARI This multi-award winning performer originally from the Philippines, has performed various styles of music from Rock & Roll to Opera throughout Asia, USA and the Pacific Rim. It all began when a leading music company selected Daniel as their Voice Color Star in a promotion concert mall tour. Daniel then secured a contract in Japan singing pop and standard songs. This was quickly followed by an opportunity to join the cast at the renowned Piazza Romano in Hong Kong performing Italian arias and Broadway tunes. Daniel's seven year residency in Hong Kong saw him perform as lead vocalist for English rock band Stunned Mullet and his launch into Musical Theatre with notable performances in The Pyjama Game, Dr Seuss and Walt Disney in Concert. Other highlights are; performing with the Hong Kong Opera Society including the production of Puccini's Turandot at Hong Kong Cultural Centre's Grand Theatre, performing and recording with Hong Kong's house music/dance group - E.X.P including the MIDEM/MTV Asia Tour alongside Danish pop group AQUA. Daniel says "experiencing different genres of music is the best way to enjoy music to it's fullest". Following several visits to Australia, apart from falling in love with the country and the people, Daniel discovered how interesting and challenging the Australian entertainment industry is. In late 1997 Daniel decided to relocate to Australia. His first appearances were in singing competitions to gain recognition and exposure - which he certainly did! As winner of the 1998 Fast Track to Fame National Talent Search, Daniel represented Australia in the USA with appearances on America's most watched talent show Fast Track to Fame viewed by 38 million people and recorded four songs with USA based Sonic Records. Daniel has gone on to become a clubscene favourite, performing throughout Australia and is much sought after as an entertainer for corporate events at home and abroad. Daniel also regularly performs his solo show as Guest Entertainer on the finest cruise ships around the world. As well as being renowned for his own shows, Daniel continues his strong interest in musical theatre having played Sir Archibald Proops in the Australian premiere of Jekyll & Hyde - the musical alongside Rob Guest. Besides his solo career, Daniel is also currently starring in the hit productions of Popera Classics Collection where he introduces audiences to Popera in a fresh, exciting and contemporary production. He also performs as the pint-sized half of the sensational duo The Two Tenors. This most versatile dynamic tenor released his debut solo CD my corner of the sky in 2003 followed up in 2006 with his latest release titled Chasing Dreams which features a selection of the tenor's favourite popera tunes and contemporary favourites. The title track is a self-penned effort Daniel wrote as a tribute to the music which has shaped his life. "Since I was a kid, music has always been my wings. It helped me to reach places I thought were unreachable, turned my dreams into reality and led me to meet people that would be important in my life. It has all been about Chasing Dreams". "This boy's range dips and dives through a middle-of-the-road mix of classic standards, pop arias and musical theatre hits, and he switches style to pin them all. He ís no mainstream rock screamer, which means his talent will have every chance to grow and ripen in the comfortable slipstream of the limelight." Sunday Mail "Daniel Mallari's vocal talent moves from Rock to Opera with amazing ease, while those who have seen him perform will attest, his smile lights up the whole room." |
