Some might say it is hard to stand out from the crowd, but there is no doubt that there is room for talented and hardworking individuals to do so. The entertainment industry, in particular, can be a tough hurdle for many but also a rewarding path for dynamic and resilient creatives. Some of the most incredible music industry success stories are classic examples of rags-to-riches tales.

Darshae Kiér is an incredibly talented entertainer proving that anyone can see their dreams come to life. He is a self-made success who rose against all odds, proving his doubters wrong. Darshae is a thrilling artist, budding screenplay writer, author, and public speaker. He has made a name for himself in the music industry by creating something unique for artists, writers, and authors, those with self-esteem issues, those who believe life would be better without them, and those who are successful but, somewhere along the way, lost their identities.

Unbeknown to many, Darshae has an inspiring story. “I stand out because even though I went through hell, my hunger and faith for growth to do this for so many who can’t is what fuels me,” he says. Growing up, Darshae was harshly judged, stereotyped, and bullied for being an African-American kid in the foster care system. His biggest challenge was overcoming bullies in school and the entertainment scene. But regardless, the self-motivated creative has remained loyal to his dream, paving his way to success against all odds.

Darshae has since branded himself as a born philanthropist striving to make a community where loss isn’t the cake; instead, it is a layer that can be molded into something extraordinary. According to him, you stand out when you challenge the status quo and refuse to blend in. Darshae firmly believes in Newton’s words, “If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.” He believes that these giants are the audience who support him. “Some see me not through the color of my skin but through the character of my heart and the capacity of my mind,” he adds.

Thankfully, Darshae has stood out as one of the fastest-growing artists on SoundCloud, Spotify, Instagram, and other platforms. The name Darshae rings loud across page after page in your favorite search engines, and Darshae believes it is because his story resonates with millions of fans across the country.

“I stand out because my artistry is a book chapter filled with stories longing to be told. It is screenplays that I am writing that are in search of a home, books that are being written in my mind faster than my typing hands can cosign, and podcasts with messages that progress moments in time,” Darshae explains.

Darshae is an ambitious and forward-thinking artist who aspires to expand and build his brand on a global scale. He imagines himself as one of the most sought-after performers, possibly inking a multi-million dollar deal with a major record company. Darshae also wishes to follow his passion for philanthropy as a writer, podcaster, public speaker, and game-changer of the status quo. He aspires to write more books and, ideally, perform at some of the most prestigious venues in the world, including doing a Ted Talk.
