Dj Darryl
Bio
Darryl Loxton - AKA Dj Darryl - was born 13 June 1993 in Johannesburg, South Africa. His mom decided to move back home to Port Elizabeth when he was just 9 days old and that’s where he grew up. Darryl was raised by his grandparents and feels blessed and very grateful to have grandparents like them. Darryl lived in a suburb named Salsoneville in the northern areas and attended the nearby Triomf Primary School. He grew up surrounding himself with the wrong crowd but was raised to know the difference between right and wrong - even though at times he would choose the wrong road! Darryl has had a huge passion for music since a very tender age. He always looked up to his father, a businessman and DJ. 'Like father, like son,' he says - but he’s taking it to another level!
One of Darryl’s friends told him about Fruity Loops Studio (FLS), a production programme. Not knowing what it was, he thought his friend was just trying to make a fool of him. He eventually got hold of FLS and started producing. Ever since then, he has never parted ways with the software. He never went to any production classes - just opening the programme, reworking the demo projects and doing some research helped him to become the producer he is today. As time progressed, he improved on his sound and is still learning today - sometimes he even surprises himself!
Darryl produces various styles, such as deep house, electro, minimal tech, R&B, hip-hop, etc - anything to get you dancing, or even when you want to hit the road and just cruise. Today Darryl is signed by Darkmello Recordings. He released his first track under the label, ‘A Plus’ featuring Naz Williams. Together they are called GemSoundz.
