Eric Darius

"From playing at local clubs and hotspots in his native Tampa to wowing the crowds at the JazzTrax Catalina Island Jazz Festival, life for this 24-year old college student has changed dramatically in just a few years. Yet, Darius' approach to his music remains as sincere as the day he first discovered jazz as a child. "I'd been playing the saxophone for about one year, before I joined America's Youngest Jazz Band, which was led by renown trumpeter, Sonny LaRosa. The unique band brought in musicians from ages 5-12, and I was fortunate enough to be part of it for two years."

Listening to music around the house, Darius had always had a passion for jazz, and being in this elite group changed his life. "We played a lot of great music from jazz legends, such as Duke Ellington and Count Basie. In addition to this, we had the wonderful opportunity to perform all over thecountry, and even at the prestigious Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland. After having the privilege to perform all over the world and realizing the impact that it made on people's lives, I knew then that this is what I wanted to do for the rest of my life."'
