About DARIUS.
Over the past few years there has been a steady emergence of artists who have burst onto the scene, representing the next generation of Contemporary Christian & Gospel music. Hailing from the white sandy beaches of Clearwater, FL, Darius Washington is a multi-dimensional gift that's just been added to the list. The FL-based music artist, producer, & entrepreneur—dubbed by stage name "DARIUS"—has been one of the industry’s best kept secrets. His writing is penetrating, his musicianship is multi-dimensional, and his creative business acumen is undeniable. DARIUS' entertainment career began in 2012 as a composer and Christian artist. Stylistically, he created a sound inspired by a fusion of CCM, Gospel, Jazz, & Soul. Self-producing and distributing his debut single "There is a God" garnered viral social media attention, which opened the door to private audition invitations from Executive Producers of TV singing competitions like The Voice & American Idol. Over the years, DARIUS has honed his craft in music performance and production, while also balancing successful entrepreneurship in the childcare and real estate industries. You've seen and heard him on television networks like BET Sunday Best, The Word Network LIVE, and across multiple radio and media outlets worldwide. Aside from producing music and film, DARIUS enjoys a greater call to serve people by way of Pastoring at Ave . His dedication to reigniting purpose in others often stems from sharing his own inspiring journey—a story of overcoming the personal challenges of divorce and homelessness, and how he built his first business from the trunk of his car in Atlanta.
