    This guy is amazing, he takes the time to get into the specific type of vocalist that I ask him for. Other vocalists can make it hard to ask for a revision, Darius is happy to make YOU happy! Even though I usually don't need a revision because he is ON POINT!

    Darius is THE MAN!
    I was looking for a singer to provide vocals for a rock cover and he delivered flawlessly. He enjoyed singing and knew exactly what I needed. Two minor suggestions due tomorrow...no problem!
    Super-friendly and easy to get along.
    Pleasure working with you, man. Be back any time :)

    Darius is f**king awesome. Not only is the man an amazing singer, but he also really put in the work to make sure my song sounded exactly how I wanted. He's a super genuine guy, and working with him is an absolute pleasure. You can bet I'll be back for more.

    Consider yourself lucky if you find him before he makes it to the top!
