Bio
WHEN TRYING TO UNDERSTAND WHO AN ARTIST IS, ONE HAS TO LOOK DEEPER INTO THEIR HISTORY. NOT JUST THE HISTORY OF THE ARTIST, BUT THE HISTORY OF THEIR BODY OF WORK. IN THE CASE OF DARIUS SHIPP, HIS LIFE AS A SINGER SONGWRITER STARTED VERY LATE. BORN AND RAISED IN SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA, DARIUS SHIPP WAS A CHILD WHO WAS ALWAYS DRAWN TO MUSIC. WHETHER IT WAS SINGING IN THE CHOIR AT CHURCH, OR BELTING OUT HIS FAVORITE R&B TUNES WITH HIS BROTHERS. IF IT HAD TO DO WITH MUSIC DARIUS WAS A PART OF IT. HOWEVER DARIUS NEVER REALLY CONSIDERED BEING A PROFESSIONAL SINGER UNTIL HIS SECOND YEAR OF COLLEGE. WITH THE HELP OF HIS UNCLE TURNED MANAGER, DARIUS BEGAN WRITING, AND PRODUCING HIS OWN MUSIC. IN FEBUARY 2011 DARIUS RELEASED HIS FIRST EP TITLED "BORN YESTERDAY", A COLLECTION OF INSPIRING SONGS ABOUT LOVE, AND HOPE.
