Darren is a singer/songwriter, mantra musician, and film/t.v composer who was born and raised on Long island. His sound has a rich, personal and philosophical background, combining great music with energy and spirituality. In the early years of his career, Darren mostly focused on rock and pop music, fronting 3 bands. However, things took a turn when he discovered Yoga and Kirtan in his 30’s. His unique approach to integrating his background as a singer/songwriter with mantra music has had a soothing, moving, and powerful effect on both himself, and those who join him for his music events at music festivals, yoga festivals, yoga studios, coffee houses, and other venues.

Darren’s unique, soulful sound helps people to open their hearts and connect to others in a unified space of love and oneness. Influenced by spiritually-driven musicians like Krishna Das, but also by contemporary artists like Jack Johnson and Jason Mraz, Darren has developed a very distinctive voice as a musician. His continued vision is to offer music that inspires people to raise their vibration and experience more peace and love in their lives.
