Classical guitarist. Ambassador mainly of contemporary Spanish music. Acts as a performer on international stages and as a recording artist for NAXOS and SINELAND.

Daniel is a passionate performer, teacher, and pedagogue, and specializes in the performance practice of 18th and 19th century guitar music. His teaching and research aim to revitalize the concept of being a well-rounded musician, with emphasis on musical ideas that can lead to deeper interpretive understanding, and tools for composing and improvising.

Daniel constantly strives to promote guitar music that has not had the fortune of being widely performed, and his debut solo album Un Viaje Mistico... A Mystical Journey contains some hidden gems of the guitar's repertoire. Speaking on the inspiration for the album, Daniel says that “it is a testament to my experience learning under [teachers] Tonié Field and Dr. Donna Coleman at the Melbourne Conservatorium of Music.” ​

Daniel has performed around the world, both as a soloist, and with his wife and flute partner as Duo Vela. Daniel's goal through performance is to spread greater awareness of the scope and expressive power that the guitar and its repertoire is capable of.

Throughout the artistic world, Cristiano Porqueddu is highly praised and recognised as one of the major interpreters of the 20th and 21st century guitar music in the contemporary scene.

Critics have labeled  him as “a reference point for the new generations of musicians”. Porqueddu began his studies by following his father’s teachings. After having obtained high marks in a specialisation course with Angelo Gilardino at the International Academy of Superior Music “Perosi”, he is now involved in an international artistic activity that encompasses concerts, discography and music composition.

As his career progressed, he has received awards in international guitar competitions and  in addition to that, he has been given many excellent reviews from experts and from several magazines.
Currently, he regularly performs as a soloist. He also holds courses and conferences in Europe and in the United States, displaying innovative programs that often include world premieres.

His recording catalog is comprised of 19 releases: 16 albums (over 50 CDs) released by major label Brilliant Classics, which also has a worldwide distribution agreement with Porqueddu.
In his honour, many solo guitar and orchestra compositions have been dedicated to him. These musical compositions have been written by a vast amount of famous composers, such as: Angelo Gilardino, Mark Delpriora, Franco Cavallone, etc.

Since 2014, he has the key role of editor at “Edizioni Bèrben” in Ancona, Italy. As well as an editor, he is also the author of revisions of unpublished original music of which he is often the dedicatee.
Around the globe, he is successful at winning many music composition competitions set in Europe, The United States and Asia. His music is published by prestigious editors, and is played by international high calibre interpreters.

He lives in Nuoro (Sardinia), where he also teaches. Since 1998, he is the artistic director of important events dedicated to classical music.
