KISS was the reason he picked up the guitar. Practicing chops at an early age, touring in his teens and performing two-thousand plus gigs, his guitar prowess is amazing and his ability to learn is incomprehensible. Darren’s humble personality allows him to grow because of his ability to receive criticism.
Darren is a multi-talented, accessible and methodical individual. He’s a budding vocalist; a fine composer and arranger; a true professional in music; a great songwriter; and a promising producer and recording engineer.
From Orleans IN, Darren entered a 4-month guitar competition in Indianapolis. He was pronounced winner over some 150 guitar players by a landslide. Since then, he’s won numerous contest titles as well as being asked to judge a few.
Since early childhood, Darren was always ready to explore bigger arenas. He was seen on MTV when Red Hot Chili Peppers reviewed choice clips of guitar auditions in LA. No one knew that he had left Indiana for that brief period.
Darren recorded all his personal projects. His current rock instrumental recording is “Guitar Absolute” - a recording that gives tribute to the great guitar players and styles that he admires.
Darren’s biggest influences include Randy Rhoads for scales and theory, Jimi Hendrix, Frank Zappa, Joe Satriani, Chris Duarte, Albert King, and Albert Collins to list a few.
Darren listens to all guitar players and combines the energy, musicianship and vibe of his favorite influences to transform himself to be known as a modern-day guitarist and musician.
