Don Lawrence - Vocal Coach (SONY Music)

Darion was a great student. I did not have to teach her how to sing ... she taught me. I just showed her how to do it night after night, even sick. She is truly a pro.

Coming out of Mt. Sinai, Darion has sung her heart out at some top places such as Coco's, Wall Street, Mumchaba and Parsnips, to name a few. Her talent has also brought her to the stage in productions of "Fiddler On The Roof" , "South Pacific", & " Grease". Her CD brings me back to a bit of my Taylor Dayne days.
Darion Is a fabulous vocalist hitting this CD head-on with some great dance tunes. "See it Believe it" is worth a listening to hear another great talent from our own Long Island area. Darion sings some great lyrics, which are co-written by herself and the talented Peter Wright, in addition to some other great collaborating with Kia Jeffries, Howie Weisman and Kristina Kovac. The talent of these people put together has produced a wonderful treat of great listening and great mixes.

I love listening to Darion sing. She is truly captivating. I am very glad I had a chance to meet her.


Roger Earl (Drummer for FOGHAT) Downtown Show Nov. 2004

She has the voice of a saint and the body of a sinner. She has the total package for this industry.

The first four bars of the opening track of Darion's sparsely packaged demo disc might make listeners fear that a Christina Aguilera record somehow jumped into their CD player. Thankfully, local songstress Darion proves to be much more than an over singing pop clone on this 11 track album full of rock, pop, and dance grooves. We won&'t list any track names here, mainly because they weren't included on the demo we received. Nevertheless, Darion's debut is full of catchy, danceable material more akin to the mature sounds of Alicia Keys or veteran R&B singers than it is to the Britney's and Christina's of the world. It's far more substantial than we expected, and therefore it should please listeners of all ages. Darion has been a busy entertainer locally during the past couple of years, singing the National Anthem at local pro sports events and recording a patriotic single, "Proud to be Americans Are We", which has garnered a significant amount of interest in the recent months. Can Darion become a major star amidst a population that favors rock groups filled with teenage angst? The major thing proven with "See It Believe It"; is that Darion is a very fine vocalist and if you hear her, you'll believe it.

She has some serious chops. Her range in unbelievable. I can't wait to see what she comes up with next.


Aaron Dilks - #1 Tour Manager in USA (Journey, Anthrax, Sleether and many more.)

Darion is a sweat heart. I would run her tour in a second. She is a real person.
