Only 24 years old and originally from Madrid, Daniel Robles, better known in the office as “Dani”, tells us about his career in music festivals, his passions and his extroverted, restless and at the same time shy character (oddly enough).
From a very early age, Dani has known that music and food are his two main passions, and although he is not professionally dedicated to either, he has always focused his path to a world that combines both; “The world of events and music festivals”.
His career in the musical world began at the age of 12, when inspired by an acquaintance, he began to practice beatboxing (music produced through the mouth, nose, lips, tongue and voice), and although he discovered that he had a facility in this art, his shyness prevented him from making himself known, so he later decided to bet on the organization of events related to this discipline. This is where he discovered his potential in event staff management!
At the age of 18, always driven by music, he got to know the working world of music festivals, where he started working as a producer at IFEMA in the “MulaFest” festivals. Such was the impetus and passion he brought to each music festival that his supervisor encouraged him to study for a degree in “Event Management, Communication and Protocol”, something that has favored his promotion in the events sector.
He arrived at WORKOUT Events as a fitter at the beginning of 2018, but a month later, thanks to his efficiency he was promoted to the position of “Set-up Coordinator Madrid”, where he has gained more experience in personnel management for music festivals In his passion!
Now his dreams are focused on getting deeper and deeper into the world of music festivals and learning languages (German and English).
