Early Years
At a very young age Darr was expressing his artistic cappabilties. He was known as "the artist" of his classes throughout elementary school. Darr was first introduced to hip-hop at a young age, being present for the golden age of hip-hop, the mid 90's. The first rapper he remembers hearing and liking was Ice Cube. "I remember always being around a radio, wether it was me or my family, I alway herd what was hot at the time. Hip-hop to heavy metal I listened to it all". Growing up on Walpole Island, Darr was exposed to the harsh side of life, seeing drug use, crime, and other explicit activities at a young age. " I remember seeing people smoking shit, robbin' shit and all that other stuff when I was like 6. When your exposed to that kind of maddness at a tender age, its most likley to have an impact on your life, wether in a positive or negative way". Around grade 3 Darr met who would become a lifelong fiend Dylan Isaac (a.k.a Snye), and the person who would influence him to start writting poetry and lyrics."Yeah Dill inspired me, I aint gonna say that I just one day jumped up and decided to write. "Me, him and some of my other school yard friends would always be doing shit like rhyming and making little stories up and shit. We were just a creative bunch that was never really part of a crowd. we werent popular or anything like that, we were just the chubby kids that laughed alot."

2003-Present
Darr started writting poetry and rhymes around 2003, and recorded his ealiest material at his friends house. "The cassette tapes were a way of life, we freestyles and songs having to do it without messin up and that shit was hard. it was fun though". Later on Darr started to record digitaly with fellow rapper Xerox of the rap duo "the siccness". "He helped me with all that studio stuff. how to mess with sound and arrange music. He helped me alot in the beggining". While in the studio wit Xerox, Darr recorded his first project tittled "illegal connections", though that was never the official tittle and only 2 or 3 presses were made for friends. after that He would continue to record more music and develop his sound. In late 2007 he finished another mixtape tittled "Illegal substance". Although this project was not released, tracks were released on on youtube.com. In 2008 Darr recorded another mixtape featuring longtime friend Pook-E, a.k.a P-man. This project was not officially complete and is put on hold untill further notice. Darr is currently working on his 4th project and will producing all arrangments and mixing. "This aint my 1st CD, but this is my 1st time producing a whole album, building it from the ground up. It's going to be a masterpiece, and will be my Illmatic, not to compare to a classic but this will definitly be somthing that Im proud of in the end".

Darr is also working on a mixtape that will be video game inspired." I want to create somthing that I could geek out to. I grew up playing video games and its somthing thats 100% original. Plus whats more fresh than taking some shit like that and flipping it into somthing thats even more ill".
