Jésus Daniel Hernández

Jesus Daniel Hernandez was born and raised in Juarez Mexico, and moved to the United States as a teenager. In 2003 Jesus Daniel  chose to enlist in the US Army, and soon after, volunteered to serve in a Chemical Unit being deployed to Iraq.  In 2007, a chance encounter with Plácido Domingo in San Antonio, TX changed his life.  After a concert given by Maestro Domingo, Jesus Daniel  asked if he could sing for the great tenor to see what the Maestro thought of his voice.  Upon hearing the young soldier sing, Maestro Domingo invited the tenor to join the prestigious Plácido Domingo-Cafritz Young Artist Program with the Washington National Opera.  After an honorable discharge in 2008, Jesus Daniel  moved to Washington, DC to pursue his boyhood dream of being a professional singer.
