Loui Daniels to Celebrate Album Release with Special Performance in Miami

Rising artist Loui Daniels is set to make waves in the music world with the release of his debut full-length album, Genesis, which encapsulates his personal experiences and observations about society in a tumultuous era.

In honor of this significant milestone in his career, Daniels will host a release party and live performance at Bar Nancy in Miami on Friday, November 28, 2025, starting at 8 p.m. This event is for guests aged 21 and over, marking a celebration of both his music and the influence of those who have guided him along the way.

Loui, born Luis Daniel Ibarra on November 20, 1996, to Cuban parents, discovered his passion for the performing arts from a young age.

Acting lessons and participation in school plays were just the start of a creative journey that would lead him to musical success.

During his formative years, he honed his vocal skills under the guidance of coach Pamela Sherwood, winning accolades in various singing competitions across the United States.

One major highlight occurred during his junior year in high school when he placed 4th at the National Association of Teachers of Singing (NATS) competition in Boston in 2014.

Loui graduated from Archbishop Coleman F. Carroll High School in 2015 and furthered his education by obtaining a Bachelor of Arts degree from Florida International University in 2019.

The COVID-19 pandemic, however, posed challenges, as the entertainment industry saw closures and cancellations.

During this uncertain time, Loui turned his focus back to music, writing a song that expressed his hopes for the future — a decision that ignited a creative spark leading to the writing of more songs.

By late 2021, with businesses reopening, he began performing at open mic nights and soon caught the attention of his friend, Ryan Bauta, who introduced him to John Tovar, a notable artist manager known for his work with acts such as Marilyn Manson and The Mavericks.

Tovar’s impact on Loui’s budding career was significant, until his passing in May 2023.

Reflecting on the loss, Loui expressed, “Losing someone like John was like losing a family member.

He was like a musical father guiding me towards my dreams, and I will always appreciate his mentorship and support.”

With Tovar’s encouragement, Loui has become a familiar face at the Cutting Edge Music Conference in New Orleans and has performed at renowned venues such as the House of Blues and The Berlin in New York City.

Genesis, the product of Loui’s journey, is co-produced with Miguel Gonzalez of Purple Studio Productions and features a total of 11 original tracks, including the standout single and music video, “Hide & Seek.”

The album also pays tribute to Loui’s upbringing and highlights societal issues, showcasing his growth as an artist.

Among the tracks is a cover of Peter Gabriel’s classic, “Solsbury Hill.”

In addition to Gonzalez, Ferny Coipel (The Shack North) played a role in the album’s production, demonstrating the collaborative spirit that has come to define Loui’s music.

“This is my beginning,” Loui states, dedicating the album to the memory of his late mentor, John Tovar.

As Loui Daniels continues to establish himself in the music industry, he maintains a dynamic presence with his band, which includes Avery Linderman on lead guitar, Oscar Dorta on drums, and Gonzalez on bass.

His ongoing performances throughout the U.S. are a testament to his dedication and rising popularity.
