Album Notes

Travel on the wild roller coaster of life as Darren Hume from Western Australia takes listeners from reality into a World of mysteries. Blood sucking "Vampires," and spirits from the "Underworld," Angels strike harps weird mystical and dark to the beat of the "Wizard's Drum." The haunting song of "Wind and Fire," and flying like "Birds of Fire," past army's of stars at night.

Wild pulsing beats searing guitars, lavish keyboard orchestrations combined with Darren's haunting voice takes listeners into an illusional World of the unknown.
More like Tolkien's Lord of the Rings.

Darren's musical popularity down under is remarkable, especially considering the unsuccessful start to his singing career. "I was in a school choir," he explains," and was told not to sing so loud...even not sing at all! (Laughs) I think I was tone deaf back then." Later, after a few singing lessons, he was highly commended at a Music Eisteddfod competition, which spurred him on to compete at other events and win many talent quests. Both of Darren's sisters played keyboard one of his brothers played electric guitar and the other played drums. The family lived in a small country town of Albany and moved to the city of Perth. Darren currently works as a D J and resurfaces the ice at Skaters on Ice.

In 2003 Darren flew to America to record two DVD clips, one was the dance track "Wizard's Drum," which was filmed on the Hudson River in New York. Darren spent most of the day perched on the edge of a boat, beating a drum while singing and trying not to fall over into the water. The film clip can be viewed on www.darrenhume.com

Darren has also tried his hand at acting, appearing as an alien (with hair and eyebrows shaved off) in the 1998 American sci -fi cult film, Dark City (starring Rufus Sewell, Kiefer Sutherland, Jenny Connelly and William Hurt).
