INTRODUCING… DARIUS COLEMAN

Have you heard the black male is becoming an endangered species? Do you believe that most young black men are criminal, irresponsible, uneducated, menaces to society? If so, I want to introduce you to a young man that may help change your mind.

Darius Coleman, a young African-American male, born in Philadelphia, PA is a 20 yrs. old beacon of hope. After graduating from the Philadelphia high school for the Creative and Performing Arts Darius was all set to head west to attend college majoring in fashion design. He had completed his preparation for this transition and, along with his parents, was about to secure housing in California where he would begin his collegiate journey.

As he was preparing for the transition into this next, all important, phase of his life he realized an overwhelming sense that there was something else competing for his attention. There was an almost subliminal awareness he was overlooking something critical in the planning of his future.

With further introspection he discovered he was ignoring his life-long dream of bringing joy to people through music. There was a growing sense he was neglecting a great part of himself in the pursuit of a safer, more secure future.

It was because of this epiphany he began discussions with his parents about this most unconventional decision to defer his plans for college to pursue this dream and remain true to what he believed was his destiny.

Upon the finalization of his decision to forego further formal education Darius became the newest artist with an independent record label based in Philadelphia, PA, Regality Records, LLC. His freshman release, I’m In Love With You, was completed within 5 months of his decision and the next chapter of his life began.

He says he wanted to create a work that would inspire, uplift, provoke listeners to love, and challenge social consciousness. In this post-911 world we live in it is refreshing to hear a young man speak of such important and powerful matters. Social analysts, scientists, and politicians would have us believe that the youth of this era are incorrigible, disrespectful, lacking compassion, violent, insolent, sexually deviant, and the reasons for the ills of society. They have been labeled Generation X.

Darius Coleman is evidence that all is not lost. There is hope for the future! I believe he represents a growing number of young men that intend to make a difference in the world, to build instead of tear down, to empower instead of victimize. I believe if we simply offer our support and encouragement for youth such as Darius it will serve as a sign of our commitment to the world’s future.

His music has reached audiences as far as Africa, Sweden, Japan, Australia, and the UK. The response has been favorable and all who have heard his music have come to know his passion for life and humanity. You can find out more about this young man at www.regalityrecords.com.
