Artist Spotlight: Darien BrockingtonPosted on Thu, Jan 14, 2010
D=Brock is the member of the Foreign Exchange family that you need to know more about. I first came across him when I first discovered the Hip-Hop trio, Little Brother. From there, Darien Brockington show’d up hear and there, dropping vocals on Justus League hooks and incredible vocals for The Foreign Exchange. With the release of his digital download “The Cold Case Files” and an full length LP on the way, we’re dropping a D-Brock primer to get you folk who don’t know, caught up! So enjoy this 45 minutes of D-Brock goodness!
[From dbrockmusic.com] Regarded by many as one of the most talented up-and-coming artists in the business, DARIEN BROCKINGTON is proving that he truly is one of R&B’s brightest new stars. Those familiar with Darien’s music know him from his work with on numerous album and mixtape projects with hip hop group, Little Brotheras well as his work with the Grammy-nominated group, The Foreign Exchange. Darien’s memorable contributions to those projects have won the hearts of fans all across the world from Alaska to Australia—and all points in between. Drawing from a wide range of influences like Donny Hathaway, Faith Evans, Daryl Coley and Sandy Patti, Darien’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.
