Reviews - What They're Saying About It
Daryl Strodes 2009 EP
"Luxuriate in the velvet voice promising the romance of red roses with whispered expressions of passion. The emotion is love, the tone is patient while leaving no doubt to his intentions.
“I Still Want You” is the opening move and he proceeds to seduce with music, lyrics and full body contact directing the dance.Spare instrumentation allows the persuasive vocals to caress your spirit as you sway to the exotic combinations of sound and rhythms, changing with each song, a well-seasoned, aromatic repast for the soul.
This album is best enjoyed as a six course gourmet meal, candlelit and fragrant. By the fourth offering “It’s a Physical Thing” you’re side by side on the banquet, Grande Marnier warming, liquid amber. “I can hear what you’re thinking….”" By: - K. Hollinsworth - fanaticfm

Daryl Strodes 2008 EP
"Luxuriate in the velvet voice promising the romance of red roses with whispered expressions of passion. The emotion is love, the tone is patient while leaving no doubt to his intentions.
“You Look Good on Me” brings the after-dinner jazz beat to the soulful evening. Daryl Strobes’ voice must be pedigreed: Pendergrass, Luther, Marvin, Al Green and Jackie Wilson, a little Smokey to name but a few. Turn the lights down and listen with someone you love, you won’t be disappointed…." By: - K. Hollinsworth - fanaticfm

BIO
Daryl started his musical career at an early age studying the clarinet and saxophone and performing in his grade school orchestra and church choirs. He grew up in a family filled with accomplished musicians. His grandfather played tenor sax with Count Basie and Duke Ellington and his grandmother and mother were vocalists in choirs and nightclubs. He knew early on that this would be his life's work. Trained by his grandfather and private tutors, Daryl began to study different forms of music from jazz and soul, to rock and pop. In his early teens Daryl heard George Benson perform and immediately fell in love with the guitar. Throughout his teens he performed with regional bands playing guitar and singing with R&B, Pop and Dance acts.
After high school Daryl attended the University of Pittsburgh where he majored in musical composition and arrangement-composing, as well as performing with artists such as Geri Allen and Cecil Brooks III. Daryl also developed a strong interest in audio recording. Also during this time Daryl had his first experience with the record business placing songs with Columbia and A&M Records, and being mentored by Dr. George Butler, then a VP of Columbia. Subsequently, Daryl left college to perform with a regional Pop act touring the eastern U.S. and then eventually settled in North Carolina, where he and two colleagues opened a full-service audio recording facility. Daryl composed, produced, and performed on dozens of artists' albums during this time, including tracks for Award-winning international acts Third World, Jodeci, and Keith Washington.
Many opportunities came in New York when a management deal was offered for some songs Daryl had collaborated on with a university mate and his partner. This led to a recording contract with RCA/Bahia Records as well as doing production and performing with other labels and artists. However, when the sudden resignation of the label president cut his deal short, Daryl began touring again. He traveled around Hawaii and the Caribbean performing with international acts such as War and Roy Ayers, as well as doing recording sessions for a number of artists, including R&B star Mya.
Acting on an offer to work with various Asian artists, Daryl has spent the last few years travelling between Southeast Asia, Australia, and the U.S., composing, performing and producing for a diverse range of international artists from Hong Kong, Taiwan, the Philippines, South Africa, India, and Australia.
