Director Biography - Darryl Ashton

I'm Darryl, 41 years old at the time of writing. I started to make music in my teenage years, released a few albums, but something happened to take me away from that path. I don't know where I was for the last fifteen years. I am working to understand what happened in my life, and I'm doing that by returning to who I was before. I am now moving into a path where I can help people connect and understand themselves.
