Daiki is starting his second year in University of Auckland and spent the first year in University of Otago in Dunedin, playing in Dunedin Youth Orchestra for a year in 2023.
Daiki started playing the French Horn when he was 10 after discovering that the French Horn was in the Guinness Book of World Records for its sheer difficulty. Since then, he has played in his school orchestra, concert band, and later in AYO for two programmes in 2023.
Outside of playing the French Horn, Daiki loves listening to all kinds of music, and also has a great interest in music production, where he recently won a competition run by a professional music production company. Apart from music, Daiki enjoys playing 8 ball pool.
