For WYOPO’s 10th episode, the guest is Darren Hart, better known to the music world as HARTS.
Harts is a one-man-musical powerhouse; musician, singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, composer and music producer. His rise to fame goes as far back as high school where he replied to a school newsletter ad to drum lessons which then sparked the musical fire waiting inside him to ignite.
His musical style which may be aptly described as Prince and Jimi Hendrix’s love child is an awesome pop-funk-rock dream. An anecdote from Prince himself, cemented Harts spot in the industry when Prince said that Harts reminded him of how he was at that age. Currently doing local and international tours, his 2nd album Smoke Fire Hope Desire landed quite impressively on the music charts and garnered positive reviews.
This episode will narrate how he started, struggled, persevered and finally won in the music scene, so listen to all the guitar-driven riffs and raves from Harts.
