Darryl is a talented and versatile pop/rock singer and songwriter who first recorded a couple of his original songs back in 1991. He has finished his first Hurtle album, "Blood Brothers", and is starting on another. His songs combine various musical styles with lyrics about current important issues and life in New Zealand. His first passion for musical expression came at the age of 10 when he was given a drum kit by his parents. He now has his own family and lives in Matamata. He gets a little help from daughter Conny.
