Meet Darnell Thornton | Rapper & Songwriter

We had the good fortune of connecting with Darnell Thornton and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Darnell, can you tell us more about your background and the role it’s played in shaping who you are today?
Im from miami fl. I feel like my upbringing played a really important role in chasing my dreams by letting me see how fast dreams can come to an end if you don’t take precaution & move accordingly

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
Becoming a rapper was really easy at first because i thought the music only benefited me, but in all honesty my music was able to touch a lot of people, now i feel as if i have to hold my art to a higher standard. I overcame many challenges by simply doing what the challenges attempted to stop, proving myself that as long as i had myself NOTHING can take my talent away. If there was one thing i would want the world to know about my story is that im just a kid from miami who had rapper dreams that’s trying to make them come true, i feel like it should be that way with every dream you could think of

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
i would take my best friend to downtown where we call “bayside”. Real fun enjoyable place that you can just walk around & feel good. That’s miami for you

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
Wanna dedicate my shoutout to my father who recently passed away. Without him i feel like i would be blind to everything i needed to know when starting off this journey of mine. He gave me a lot of wisdom while he was here now i just gotta use it to my advantage
