Darrein has been performing since the age of 4 – starting out singing 50's Rock 'n Roll like Elvis, Jerry Lee Lewis, Bill Haley and the Comets, etc. Now, at the age of 12, he has moved up and progressed to being a true soul singer–covering songs by Aretha Franklin to Sam Cooke and many more. At the age of 5, he landed an acting role in a movie called "The Painting" with Charles Shaughnessy, Clifton Davis, Ben Vereen and "Fame's" Debbie Allen.

Darrein is from St. Louis, Missouri and he was lucky enough to live in the area where tryouts for the Showtime At The Apollo were held! He passed his audition singing the soul classic "Chain of Fools".

His biggest influence has been his father, Mike Safron, who has been in music all his life. Mike Safron played drums for Chuck Berry, Bo Diddley, Albert King and is the founding member of the world acclaimed group Pavlov's Dog.

Darrein's back up band consists of 5 incredible musicians who callthemselves the "Soul Sensations", featuring: his father, Mike Safron, on drums; Ray Schulte, on guitar; Royal Robins, on keyboards; Cornell Richardson, on bass; and Harry Simon, on tenor sax.

According to reviews, this 13 year old boy, with his soulful voice and incredible stage presence, will blow you away! Don't miss seeing this young up-in-coming star of tomorrow! Darrein Safron and the Soul Sensations have arrived!
