ARTIST, PRODUCER, MIX ENGINEER, COMPOSER

In addition to his success as a solo artist, Darren has become the ultimate urban jazz hyphenate as an artist / producer following his success in the 2000’s with Wayman Tisdale (which included the #1 hit remake of “Ain’t No Stoppin Us Now”) and behind the scenes as producer, composer, arranger and/or mix engineer for music on five Dave Koz projects (Greatest Hits, Hello Tomorrow, Summer Horns, Gifts Of The Season, and A New Day ). In 2008-2009, Darren scored three consecutive #1 productions (14 weeks in all) on the Radio & Records smooth jazz chart, holding the top position with Koz, Eric Darius and Tim Bowman. He held the top three chart positions for several weeks and had as many as four songs in the Top Ten at the same time.

Over the years, as his detail-oriented sonic excellence led to more and more hit recordings, his resume has grown to include everyone from Toby Keith, Jonathan Butler and Najee to Bob James, Rick Braun, Jeffrey Osborne, Phil Perry, Jeff Lorber, Kirk Franklin, Jonathan Fritzen, Julian Vaughn, Blake Aaron, Lebron, Riley Richard and the late Nick Colionne.
