Darren Israel

Get familiar with “Darren Israel” who is originally from Atlanta Georgia, then spent some time in Seattle Washington, before heading over to Miami Florida, and eventually finding home in Fort Lauderdale. Darren had a Balanced child hood and up bringing , coming from  Broward County Florida . He went to two performing art schools in the district , one in middle school by the name of Parkway Middle and the other was his high school by the name of Dillard High. Growing up “Darren” was always surrounded by loyal friends and family and they all looked out for each other even through the hard times , no matter what they always kept close and embraced our struggles together. His mother was always a hardworking woman and like a lot of other families  ,things got traumatic before they can have their freedom as kids and live a normal life — he has a little sister named Rachelle and a younger brother name Dion. They lived a rollercoaster of a life from 2003 to about 2014 and there was abusive moments he witnessed from domestic violence that sheltered his mind from really expanding for many years out of fear , doubt , and utter lack of confidence. Darren always tried to find the fun in the hard times whether it was running from the police , stealing little things from a swap meet , egging houses and cars with his friends or just playing football on the block , racing with no shoes on or just chilling on the porch playing the game with the TV outside. His childhood was as live as it could be thanks to the neighborhoods he lived in but with the good came the terrible a little under half the time. Regardless of the fact the struggle made Darren a man and taught him how to appreciate the little things and moments you have with people no matter how long you knew them. Although Darren didn’t start taking his music serious until 2021, music was always around. Listening to artist like 2Pac, Lil Wayne, Boosie, Plies, Trick Daddy, Rick Ross, OutKast, Kodak Black, TDE camp, Mary Mary, Fred Hammond, and more. As he grew older and more into his craft he started to record at a various amount of studios. From his School studio where he started at,  after he graduated he got signed and started to record at “BYOB Studios”, eventually branching off and taking his talents to “YHC The Label” where he was able to tour and go through the ups and downs of building his name and brand. Darren took the knowledge he got from being under labels and sooner than later started his own faction back in 2013 by the name of “TRPLYF7” now known as “ETAWORLDWIDE”. Everything above playing apart in the sound and style you hear from him today. Darren releases his emotions and frustration’s about the way of life , conditions of the culture, and the treatments of our communities.
