I am Darius Blue the Rock Star. I was born 1993 July 16th, in a little town called Vidailia Ga. the sweet onion city, I learned my ability for music at the age of 6, in my home town: Hazlehurst Ga. Me, my brother Dijohn, and sisters, Lasadie and Tiffany were all influenced by our father being introduced to the music life by knowing nothing but Practice! So that whatever you do, whether its singing
, or general practices, make it perfect to the best that you can. After my dad left the family, my mom passed away due to complications from ALS and to this day, researchers are working to find a cure. This major tragedy in my life led me to the home of Jessie Troup. Aunt Jessie who was the elder sister to my mother. While living with my aunt, as the days passed, I would find myself working on my singing. To me, I believe that I happen to have one of the best brother and sisters that can sing in town, but me I had a deep voice which had seemed to portray myself as one with very little singing potential at all. I would always practice late at nights and early mornings yelling and I mean yelling trying to make the notes come out that couldn't otherwise, sometimes hitting the very note I'd been trying to hit. I referred to myself as a rock star, and if not a rock-star; I was surely one in the making. Some times on late nights when I thought no one was looking I would throw a make-believe concert to the grass and trees, with myself as their object of stardom and entertainment. I had gotten the idea to do this from my brother because he would do this while in front of anyone and the trees and birds and pennies or who would ever listen. I would always act like I was to good for that, making fun of it or thought it looked stupid to only find myself doing the same thing only when I was alone, because I felt I couldn't sing as good as my brother and sister and was too embarrassed to try. when I was 12 years old, me and my brother and sisters decided to carry on the family bond through music, by doing local concerts around our hometown and surrounding cities. We got well known for our ability to sing a Capella. I learned to face my love for music head on when I would get to sing with them in a group crooning gospel numbers. And boy, how I felt my light shine bright when I could sing with them. We were getting asked to sing everywhere. People handed us business cards for studio time, production, management and radio station interviews. However, we felt limited and couldn't do any of these things because my aunt believed we needed to only focus on school and getting a degree. As the years went by without a mom or dad to hold the group together we all went our own ways, while I kept my music on my mind I felt I wasn’t as good as my brother and sisters at singing. I practiced everyday trying to find my sound and voice within myself and with no hesitation I can only thank God for this path all the way up to now, and even to thank Him for the times and points in my life which had seemed to have no direction. I wasn't sure if I wanted to do music, or be an event planer, invent things, or work hard doing general labor the rest of my life. But now I can see clear as day that I should follow my heart which is in music. That music and that love and passion for creation of this God-inspired art form is what has been with me all the way through my life. I now make the best of one of my many talents which is singing. I only know what I have to offer because I still feel it inside me and every time I rise each morning. I know that it is music where my heart relies, because it is the primary thing flowing from inside my soul.
