His debut country album, Learn to Live, went platinum with three chart-topping singles on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart. Darius has put out six solo albums in total.

“It’s been so much more than I ever could have dreamed,” he said about making his country music debut. “I had always wanted to make a country album and planned to just do it with friends, but Mike Dungan and Capitol took a chance by believing in me enough to give us a country record deal. After five albums, I still wake up inspired to write songs; it’s the greatest job in the world.”
