My Story

Born into a hard-working Italian migrant family in Australia, Daniel's early life was shaped by academic excellence, ambition, and a deep love of culture.

His youth was defined by extraordinary challenges; battling Stage-4 Hodgkins Lymphoma at age 16, and enduring the untimely passing of his mother. These experiences shaped his perspective on life, instilling in him a deep appreciation for time and a fierce determination to seize every opportunity – a vow that has fuelled his relentless pursuit of success and innovation in building his business empire.

Daniel's professional journey is underscored by remarkable achievements and continuous growth. As a business founder, investor, and entrepreneur, Daniel's expertise has led to collaborations with industry giants, positioning him as a leader across various creative disciplines. His unique approach, combining business acumen with deep technical knowledge, has allowed him to innovate at the intersection of sound, technology, and architecture, transforming industries through innovative design and strategic partnerships.

Daniel's academic and professional credentials are equally impressive. He holds a Master of Architectural Science (Audio & Acoustics) from The University of Sydney, where he was recognised on the Dean's List of Excellence in Academic Performance. His education also includes multiple degrees from The Australian Institute of Music, and a Certificate in Communication Acoustics & Psychoacoustics from RWTH Aachen University, Germany.

In 2020, Daniel was awarded the Australian Institute of Building NSW Chapter Presidents Award for his research contributions to the industry. He is a Member of the Australian Acoustical Society (MAAS), an Affiliate of Engineering Australia (AffilEAust), and serves as a chairperson of the Sydney Section of the Audio Engineering Society (MAES).

Nishi Kant GroverATIM, Autex, Embleton, Regupol, Acoustica

My company specialises in live performance across opera, musical theatre and jazz. Sophistication and high quality production is my expectation, and thus Daniel is always my first choice in his areas of expertise. He is methodical and professional in all his undertakings, and I have no hesitation in recommending him to prospective clients.

Irene SarrinikolaouArtistic Director, ANGELVOICES

Daniel has been, by far, my favourite engineer/producer that I have had the honour of working with. Daniel is always up for trying new things and experimenting with ideas. His creative sense and musical direction has always led to sounds that I never thought were possible. Not only has Daniel been a pleasure to work with, but I would consider him a close friend of mine for many years to come. I would strongly recommend Daniel for his professional help and advice.

Cameron VadalaGuitarist of Hiraeth, awakeinmotion, Croi

Daniel constantly impresses me. He displays an incredible work ethic. His combination of skills, knowledge and intuition make him great to work with. He knows when to push ideas, and when to back off. Highly professional, but also easy-going. I've worked with different engineers in the past and haven't been nearly as impressed. I will always recommend him.

Cassandra ScottPianist, Hiraeth

Daniel's ability to understand a vision beyond its foundation is a beautiful gift. Mr. Natoli met us at every corner, and challenged us even when he knew we'd want to throw the SSL at him! He is a gracefully-ambitious engineer with a wealth of knowledge in both musical technique, and soul. It has been an honour to work with him, and we look forward to annoying him more in the very near future. We love you Dan!

Matthew CardwellComposer & Producer, Hiraeth, awakeinmotion, Croi

Daniel is very talented, committed and professional. The time, effort and attention to detail he puts in is crazy, but it pays off big time. He understood my vision for my project and helped me to realise it beyond my expectations. As a producer, he offered only what input he thought necessary. As an engineer, he excels in knowing how to achieve a particular desired sound. I will definitely be working with Daniel again on my next project.

Peter O'ConnerThe Human Instrumentality Project

Working with Dan has been one of the highlights of my musical career. The man knows how to get the best out of anyone, and is so amazingly-patient and easy-going, you'd think you were 15 years old jamming in your parent's garage! If you want quality work and a good time whilst recording, Dan is the man!

Adam DrumCustomer Lead @ Datacom
