Drawing from a wide range of influences like Donny Hathaway, Faith Evans, Daryl Coley and Sandy Patti, Darien Brockington's music is a reflection of both the past and present. His music speaks of life, love, faith and so much more.
Darien has worked with a host of talented artists, having toured with gospel great William Becton and R&B star Jaheim. He has been featured on projects by hip hop legend Pete Rock and UK “drum & bass” pioneers, 4Hero. And of course Darien has recorded extensively with Little Brother and the rest of the Hall of Justus family.
After buzzing around hip-hop and R&B’s underground, “D-Brock” surfaced in 2006 with his long-awaited debut album, SOMEBODY TO LOVE, which Vibe magazine lauded as “a welcome splash of sass and swagger.” In contrast to today’s “style over substance” approach to music, Darien’s signature style is a throwback to the days when R&B was about looking good AND sounding good.
Darien’s musical journey has taken him all over the globe. And while that journey has given him the opportunity touch the hearts of many, there are still many more that have yet to experience his incredible gift.
