Darius Holbert is a composer of music for film, tv, and new media, working in Los Angeles. He studied composition and arranging at London's Royal Academy of Music and the University of North Texas.

Darius has scored a gaggle of international features and countless shorts. He had three award-winning films at Sundance and at various other film festivals this past year. He has had his work in hit tv shows like Lost and Grey's Anatomy, and in numerous commercials and industrials.

Darius has produced for, toured with, and written for artists as varied as Everlast, Wu-Tang Clan, Sophie B. Hawkins, and Bobby Brown (oh, the stories). Darius has appeared on tv shows like the Tonight Show, Fox Good Day and France's Canal +.

Darius has been commissioned to compose operas and chamber works. He has appeared on a ton of records from various projects, including four albums from his critically acclaimed solo project "dariustx".

There is a wealth of music in Darius' extensive catalog, all of which is represented by three non-exclusive licensing companies, various managers, and publishers. He is an award-winning, well trained multi-instrumentalist, vocalist, composer, and conductor.

But more than anything else, Darius is really just a down-to-earth guy from Texas who works really hard, who hates bragging about himself (he swears), and who loves his job.

Darius is a member of ASCAP and AFTRA and lives in Los Angeles.
