Darrick, born and raised in Chicago, had his first taste of music early in life.
From the things he heard, it started a ball of excitement beyond understanding.
“I didn’t at first, know what the words meant, all I knew was that it felt good.”
Equipped with the talent from his aunt, Darrick started to mimic the sounds of his aunt’s vocals and began investigating the source of this beautiful sound, so late nights were spent listening to favorite artist of his aunt. These artists include Prince, Michael Jackson, Al Green and Marvin Gaye. Still curious as to how music, words and vocal styles can affect a mood and life, Darrick writes and sings with that unbridled curiosity. Darrick began without any formal training, but after writing his first song at the age of 18, he went on to study at the Sherwood Music Conservatory to hone his talents.
Working with different artist, Darrick began to see that being stuck to one style would not make it in music, so he took a different direction of writing songs, instead of trying to write what he himself would like, he thought about how he felt when he heard those beautiful sounds from said Artists. So he wrote with the feelings of listeners in mind.
In 1999, Darrick join a group called “Secret”; while the group garnered minor success, winning various Chicago talent shows and a winning appearance on the famous “Showtime at Apollo” in 2001, Darrick went on to pursue a solo career. Following that success, he began his solo career, by putting together a tour of college shows, local and throughout the Midwest. Working with his producer Kaialexander, birth such hits as “Get Up 2 Get Down” and “Wonderful”
Today, Darrick has become a valuable song crafter and singer. Now, with more focus and more vigor, Darrick will unload a part of music that’s been missing for awhile, “Good” Music.
