Darren's music has a timeless Classical sound with familiar melodies and fresh new compositions that all lean to the gentle and melodic side of Classical while adding a hint of the Spanish guitar. An outstanding composer, Darren's music always features his original compositons and original arrangements. His new release "Duettos Cantabiles" features those skills composing and arranging for string duets. Predominantly a classical guitarist, Darren is also accomplished with alternate tuning fingerstyle guitar as well as 12 string guitar.

In June of 2002, Darren reached a milestone when his release, “Solamente Romanz,” reached #8 on Billboard’s Top Classical Chart. In September 2001, Darren’s previous CD, “Classica,” reached #11 on that same chart. In Spring of 2001 Darren was proclaimed, “the most requested classical guitarist on Beethoven Radio” by Beethoven.com, the #1 classical radio station in the world.
