Xavier Darnel Singletary makes a living as a personal trainer enlisted in the United States Armed Forces, but his true passion revolves around his musical creativity. The artist chose his middle name, Darnel, as his stage name because he believes it is representative of his personal growth from childhood into adulthood. Darnel is much wiser and more mature than the young man he was when raised in Alabama, and his fans should take note of this. Darnel’s mental and emotional development is clearly reflected in his music.
Darnel considers himself to be pretty versatile when it comes to the specific genre of music he is inclined to make. Although he refers to himself as a rapper, the distinct sound he aims for in his songs is completely dependent on his emotional state at the time he works on them. Darnel mentions that his interest in making music was first piqued when he was a child around the age of six. Nobody in Darnel’s family was in the entertainment industry, and his parents weren’t too fond of him ever becoming a musician. Darnel lacked the tools necessary to even remotely entertain his musical interests, and he had been determined to leave his hometown long before joining the army.
For a little over the past three years, Darnel has been living in Japan. He still doesn’t speak Japanese fluently, but he has learned enough words to prevent himself from getting in any trouble. The artist believes that most of the natives he has come into contact with in Japan have actually been extremely supportive of his presence. One of the friends that Darnel made overseas had actually been promoting another friend’s music when Darnel finally decided to ask where people go to record songs in Japan. Darnel’s friend introduced Darnel to a Japanese producer and a small studio. Although his producer may not be the most fluent in English, Darnel is positive that he will soon be able to create a coherent body of music for people across the world to enjoy.
