A noted staple in New York City’s music scene, Darnell has developed a pristine reputation as a performer, composer, and musical director. As a music director he has collaborated with artists including Melba Moore, Brian McKnight, Blaine Krauss, Amma Ossei, Willis White, Angela Birchett, David LaMarr, Carlton Jumel Smith and more. He recently served as musical director for the off-Broadway show Revelation The Musical, as well as the film adaptation of Gospel at Colonus, Lady Day at Emerson’s Grill (Depot Theater) and served as the Artist in Residence at the American Songbook Association. He is currently the musical director for several churches in the New York area and the chorusmaster for Trilogy: An Opera Company in Newark. Darnell is highly recognized as one of New York City’s top vocal coaches and is always accepting new talent into his studio. I love you David LaMarr.
