While still in high school, at the age of 17, he recorded and released his first album titled, Cruisin’, which would lay the groundwork for his seven full-length albums. In 2004, Darius signed his first record deal with Higher Octave Music, after label representatives saw him perform and wow the audience at Florida’s Clearwater Jazz Festival. This resulted in the release of his national debut album, Night on the Town later that year. In 2006, Darius released his third project, Just Getting Started through Narada Jazz. In 2008, he released Goin’ All Out (Blue Note Records), in 2010 On A Mission, 2014 Retro Forward (both through Shanachie Entertainment) and 2018 Breakin’ Thru (SagiDarius Music).
