Daniel Donato, born in Nashville in 1995, is an American country music guitarist based in Nashville. At 16, became the youngest musician to regularly play the iconic honky tonk Robert’s Western World while gigging with the Don Kelley Band. 
He began busking on lower Broadway in Nashville, playing eight hours a day on weekends for tips. It was while busking that he would give Don Kelley his business card every Saturday night, hoping for a chance to audition. One day, while still a junior in high school, he got the call to come play. He became a regular member of the band, performing four nights a week for more than 450 shows with the group.
