Darlintino is pioneering a new sound rooted in R&B, Hip-Hop and alternative Neo-Soul. He calls it bedroom R&B. His artistry manifests itself through his sultry melodies and quirky perspective, giving listeners an emotional connection to him and his music. His honest, introspective lyrics captures multiple generations, moved by his timeless talents that shape his poetic self-reflection in today's attention-deficit society.
The laid-back energy of his lo-fi sound is a reflection of his personality - unique and nostalgic. Currently living in Abuja, Nigeria, he continues to make genre-bending music that captivates and inspires listeners.
His recording debut was with the single "A Man Apart" which was written as an apology to a long lost love. His latest single "I'll Be" features American Pop singer, Alex Marie Brinkley and is a song of hope encouraging up and coming artists to shut out the distractions that come with fame and keep their dreams in focus.
From a young age, Darlintino has always turned to music as a means of expressing himself and telling his stories. He strongly believes that in an era where everyone has answers and no solutions, life comes down to sacrificing who you are for who you can become.
He is highly influenced by artists like Drake, J. Cole, Wrabel, 6LACK and Khalid, to name but a few.
