"Working with Darius while he was here in Washington, DC was a great experience. We collaborated on a lot of different levels of music. Such as Artist Development, getting artists signed through different programs in & out of the label, creating shows for artists to perform in at different lounges around the DC area & also mentoring artists who needed help with direction. We accomplished a lot of things productively all while building more plans and ideas for the artists. Working with Darius increased a lot of movement here in the city. He was an outstanding asset to the team."

"Darius Jackson and I met back in mid-2020 and were referred to me by an associate in the current music market. I was told I should meet Mr. Darius and was set up a private one on one; respecting my personal privacy standards. Once we exchanged conversation, we immediately found a connection. Regardless of the current state of affairs going on in his current life; Darius began to dedicate his services with pure passion and enthusiasm. He observed well, asked questions, and demonstrated team attributes. Once I was referred by Darius to a remodeling project for a radio station that needed help. Darius helped me side by side through the entire project and never showed a sign of complaining. His focus is outstanding and he has been very supportive in everyone he interacts with. In my 24 years of entertainment via independent and major; I have NEVER witnessed such a positive and motivated person. Truly looking forward to watching his career expand into the future and beyond. Well deserved! "
