Daniel Rodriguez

American tenor Daniel Rodriguez rose to fame in the aftermath of 9/11 after an emotional appearance singing 'The Star Spangled Banner' at a memorial service following the tragic attacks ('Prayer for America'). At the time, Rodriguez was a classically-trained amateur singer, but was employed as a police officer and was on duty during the attacks.

Following the performance he was dubbed 'The Singing Policeman' and signed to EMI Records. He released his debut album 'God Bless America' in December 2001 and appeared on a string of prime-time US talk shows and major sporting events singing the national anthem. Rodriguez continued his music career with the release of 'Spirit of America' in 2002 and a Spanish-language album (a nod to his Puerto Rican roots) entitled 'Por Ti Volare' in 2013.

Over his musical career he has performed for US Presidents, Pope Francis, the legendary opera singer Plácido Domingo as well as many other world-renowned stars, and in venues worldwide including several Christmas appearances at Carnegie Hall.
