LEAD ENGINEER & SOUND GENIUS
Darren came up in the Seattle music scene, playing and recording with multiple bands, and honing his drumming and engineering chops. He has performed at venues accross the northwest, including Chateau St, Michelle, The Paramount Theater, Jazz Alley, The Triple Door, and has shared the stage with artists such as Natalie Cole, Dave Matthews, Collective Soul, Morrisey and the Smiths, and many others. In 2006 Darren moved to Wenatchee, WA with his wife and opened a restaurant and music venue, producing hundreds of shows during his time in North Central Washington. The venue gained a reputation as one of the best sounding rooms in the state, and soon Darren was promoting and mixing concerts regionally with his own production company, and producing music in the studio, along with performing and recording with multiple groups as a drummer. In 2015 Darren relocated to Nashville, TN, and worked as a live/session drummer and toured internationally as an in-demand front of house engineer. The artists Darren has mixed and/or toured with include: Vince Gill, Gretchen Peters, Gavin DeGraw, Angel Snow, Hayes Carll, David Cook, Ben Haggard, Dan Tyminiski, Nightly, Post Modern Jukebox, The Cadillac Three, Boy And Bear, Devin Dawson, and many more. |
ARTIST DEVELOPMENT & PRODUCTION MASTERMIND
A fulltime musician and music educator since 2004, Danika brings a holistic music philosophy to the world of recording. Her additional years of experience writing and directing musical theatre infuse her coaching with diverse character and story. In early years of study, Danika was Resident Composer for three symphonies, two choirs, and the William Jessup University wind ensemble in which she also played several instruments and sang. She directed local music camps for 6 seasons and formed her own 45 piece orchestra from her students for several years while teaching private music lessons from her home studio. Appreciated by fellow music instructors in her former communities, Danika was also invited to guest conduct and give presentations to local symphonies and was invited to teach special improvisation workshops for the Music Teachers' Association of California where she taught piano teachers to incorporate structured creativity into their traditional music lessons. As time went on, she went on to develop the music curriculums SongBugs and Piano Alive, which give tools for learning or relearning music as one's native language. Danika spent a few years involved with West Coast Songwriters and during competition one season received the highest commendations for both songwriting and vocals. She also traveled a house concert circuit as a singer-songwriter with her band. Under a different artist name in 2007-2014 she released 12 solo albums, layering herself playing her compositions on 22 different instruments. Danika’s involvement in West Coast Songwriters also brought her an invitation to compose at Disney, which she turned down. Danika has been active in the local Idaho film community, acting and scoring music, for which she has received numerous awards locally and nationally. She is the current and founding conductor of Canyon County Youth Symphony and the composer and lead of Starrharrt Symphonic. She homeschools her daughter and is passionate about vibrant health and mental clarity. She has impacted the lives of thousands of music students through private coaching and small group classes, musicians who come to her for her fine-tuned ear, empowering energy, and refreshingly groundbreaking musical mindset. Danika is the founder and director of Encore Creative Center, a multi-location arts community, where Encore Recording Studio is housed. Receive new music from her here. |
