This young, enigmatic artist is now on his way to set the stage on a mission to bring back a type of sound that hasn’t been seen in quite some time now. Raised in the same state where artists like Prince & Lizzo have resided, it’s safe to say that Darius Mylik is well aware of the high caliber of music that came before him, but that hasn’t stopped his hustle. “My overall plan is to release different songs within different complementing genres, to reach a multitude of people. I don’t want people to get used to my sound – rather, I want them to be transported to another place while I act as the driver in their car.”
Lofty words from a Minneapolis native, especially when you consider his peculiar background. Raised in the church and born within a big family, Darius has always kept to himself for most of his life. “I was always the type of kid that didn’t stress much – kept to myself with my own thoughts; loved to people watch.” That intuition and ability to read situations has helped him tremendously, giving him the opportunity to be more entrenched within the church and his community serving the people who looked like him. Always looking for ways to give back and inspire, he made a point early on to be involved with things that would only showcase his talents in the best light.
And that light has shined in many ways, as Darius was training to be more involved within the entertainment – not initially through music as one would expect. “I had plans to become either a sports agent or an athlete – I really trained my body to prepare for that next level, but of course, if God calls you to do something else, you can’t ignore it.”
This then led to the beginning of him honing his vocal gifts for a new audience. Utilizing his choir talents and vocal influences that range from Mali Music, 2Pac, Maxwell & Joe he created a versatile, 2 EP project (Intermission & 2/2) that served as the basis of his music repertoire that he wanted to share with the public.
