About

Background

Darcy playing keys on a red-lit stage

I play piano, write songs and produce records.

Thirteen years on the piano, five of them in a jazz program, and a Bachelor of Music in Popular Music from the Queensland Conservatorium.

My own records are soulful pop built on 80s ballad harmony, and I produce every one of them myself. I also play keys for other artists, live and in the studio.
