This project began just over a year ago whilst I was hosting my own melodic rock radio show here in Sydney, Australia. I began interviewing band members and the conversation turned to our mutual love of songwriting. Most requested that I send some demos their way and the response, most times, was that we should work together on something, and so the Darren Phillips Project was born!
