It’s not often that an audience gets the opportunity to be exposed to an artist of this caliber. With a vocal quality seldom heard this day and age, his rich baritone voice easily fills the room with warm inviting tones, often compared to Sam Cooke, Ray Charles and Elvis Presley  His exceptional song writing ability reveals life’s vulnerabilities and joys and in 2009 resulted in his being awarded “Songwriter of the Year” and the “New Horizon” award for “Best New Artist” from the Virginia Organization of Lyricists and Composers. His Song "Raindrops Falling Down" won an Honorable mention in the 2010 Mid-Atlantic Songwriting Contest in the Jazz/Blues Category.  Recently Darryl has been doing voice over recordings for the State of Virginia and his voice can be heard on many of the training materials for the Virginia Retirement System. Whether you hear his soothing voice in an online training webinar, e-learning course or you listen to one of his recordings or catch a live show, you will be pleased and amazed at the quality of the performance.
