You can find many threads in Darren’s life. He started composing and recording music for student and independent films in his teenage years by any means available, often using tape decks, video cameras, second hand instruments, whatever he could get his hands on.

Follow that thread to today, Darren composes and records music in his home studio in Los Angeles for an array of projects. He has created original music for television shows and commercials, art exhibitions and in videos across platforms for brands such as Jaguar, JetBlue, Teach for America and PayPal.

Darren learned bass at age 13, then guitar, drums and keys, playing music in his friends basements around Metro-Detroit where he was raised. He moved to Brooklyn in 2005 and made records and toured extensively with his bands Mothxr, Rathborne and the World Without Magic. Darren’s current project is Calm Transmissions, an ambient music and visual collective.

Darren also makes videos. Learning the craft in high school, then re-discovering his passion for video creation in New York with an internship at Harbor Picture Company, he has worked for Creators League Studio, the in house PepsiCo content studio as Lead Editor and currently as Senior Editor at Casual Films, Los Angeles.  He also sound designs and audio mixes, often times combining several of these skills to complete one project.
