L.A. Sound Machine is the premier Gloria Estefan and Miami Sound Machine tribute band based in Southern California, delivering the energy, precision, and authenticity that define Gloria’s legendary catalog. This 8-piece ensemble performs the biggest hits from the ’80s, ’90s, and beyond—including songs Gloria has written for artists like J-Lo and Shakira—and brings them to life with a vibrant, dance-driven stage show.
As one of the founding members of L.A. Sound Machine, Danny Knapp brings his versatility and deep rhythmic feel to the group, blending Latin pop with the same musicality featured throughout his other work on the Projects page.
