Daniele, 23, comes from Worthing in West Sussex and is half Sicilian, a quarter German, and a quarter English. Determined to pursue a career in performing arts he began dancing at the relatively late age of 18, after he realised that having the ability to both sing and dance would greatly increase his chance of being accepted on his chosen college courses.

He obtained a DaDa (Dancing and Drama Award) to attend the London Studio Centre and has since completed a BA(Hons) in Theatre Dance. He decided to audition for DanceX to make his parents, grandparents and family proud, and adds “all I want to do is entertain people. I want to make them laugh, cry, smile and cheer when I dance and sing”.
