He has recorded with multi Grammy award winning artist Kanye West and ARIA award winner Katie Noonan (George). Before venturing out as an artist, Darryl was the Musical Director for artists such as Guy Sebastian, Jessica Mauboy, Stan Walker and MiG (Rockstar INXS) and has played with a vast array of greats such as Harry Connick Jnr, KC & JoJo, Jewel, Sneaky Sound System and Thelma Houston to name a few.
