In 2015 and after 14 years of study, Daniel graduated as a fully licensed musician at the Royal Conservatoire of Music in Cordoba. Daniel began his studies at the age of 7, and at 16 opened his first flamenco guitar school. At 18 he began working across different tablaos (places where flamenco shows are performed) in the city of Cordoba as well as important festivals such as the famous Festival de los Patios.

At the age of 21, having completed his flamenco studies, he moved to Edinburgh to work as a guitarist in the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, as well as opening his second flamenco school and forming his company: the Daniel Martinez Flamenco Company. Daniel launched his company and debuted his production ‘Art of Believing’ in Edinburgh’s iconic Royal Lyceum Theatre in October 2017, selling out on its first night and kick-starting a promising future for this emerging company.

From there, the company has been touring the UK and beyond, visiting important cities and guitar festivals such as the Birmingham Royal Conservatoire Guitar Festival and Cardiff’s Guitar Festival. ‘Art of Believing’ has recently gone on to win the prestigious ‘Herald Angel Award’ in Edinburgh’s 2019 Festival as well as being chosen as one of the 8th best music shows by the reputable Festival Magazine.
