Becoming a successful singer was a childhood dream of Darius. “Nag-a-awol ako sa eskuwela para sumali lang sa kahit anong singing contests, kahit sa mga piyestahan. Kahit nakakatuwa itsura ko, hindi ako nahihiya noon kasi talagang gusto kong maging singer.”

“Lola’s boy ako,” he admits. “Hindi ko naranasan ang pagmamahal ng kapatid at magulang. My grandma from mother side, Lola Miling took care of me. She was very solicitous, and she taught me the value of hard work. At times, nagtatampo ako dahil istrikta but now, I appreciate her style of discipline dahil inihanda niya ako.

“When she learned that I was fond of singing, she requested me to sing in her birthday held at Roxas
