We recently had the chance to connect with Darrian Brothers and have shared our conversation below.
Hi Darrian, thank you so much for taking time out of your busy day to share your story, experiences and insights with our readers. Let’s jump right in with an interesting one: Are you walking a path—or wandering?
I currently think I am wandering. There was a time in which I thought I knew how my path looked and I could see the direction I was going. I think recently I have realized that my path seems to not want me to know where I’m going. I’m forced to have faith that I’m still ultimately heading towards my destination.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
My name is Darrian. I am a musical artist based in Saint Louis, MO. I think what makes me unique is my sound and my abilities as an “all-rounder”. I think I excel in many areas when it comes to my overall skill set as an artist and I continue to work at improving those skills. I am currently working on an album that I have been releasing one single at a time. To give each song its space before the full project it released.
Thanks for sharing that. Would love to go back in time and hear about how your past might have impacted who you are today. What did you believe about yourself as a child that you no longer believe?
I believed that I was a genius as a kid. I was always told about how smart and intuitive I was as a child. I for much of my adolescence believed that. But, as I lived my life as an adult, life showed me how much I don’t know and how stupid I can be. That added a level of humility that I lacked for a long time.
What have been the defining wounds of your life—and how have you healed them?
I was cheated on by someone that I really held on a pedestal and would sacrifice pretty much anything for. And when I found out about her being unfaithful, I didn’t know I could feel such a violation of trust. That betrayal was more hurtful than any lie ever could. It took many years to heal from that. In that time I would think over the signs that I didn’t notice at the time or simply ignored. It made me realize that there were definitely things I compromised on that I knew were against my core beliefs. I realized that I needed to experience that pain in order to learn how to respect my own boundaries moving forward. And that I needed to grow up. There will be more of those wounds coming and I need to be prepared.
Next, maybe we can discuss some of your foundational philosophies and views? What important truth do very few people agree with you on?
You don’t have to be invested in everything. If you care so deeply about everything, you won’t have the time to understand your feelings about anything. Worry about your life first.
Okay, so let’s keep going with one more question that means a lot to us: What is the story you hope people tell about you when you’re gone?
I hope people will say that I always worked hard to better myself. That I didn’t let my life pass me by without trying. I want to be remembered as someone who kept moving forward even when I couldn’t feel my legs underneath me.
