<center>[WEKU](https://deals.weku.io/@darrenclaxton) </center> <center>https://media.giphy.com/media/xUPGGDNsLvqsBOhuU0/giphy.gif --- <center>**Good morning, Good afternoon and Good evening wherever you may be in the world! I'm Darren Claxton, Father, Musician, Multi-Instrumentalist and Songwriter from Derbyshire in England.**</center> --- <center></center> --- **My family are the most important people in my life, and they inspire me daily, to write the music I create. I have an 8 year old son and 4 year old daughter and partner of 10 years, who's definitely the boss in our house (I like to let her think).** --- <center></center> --- <center>**I'm an eccentric kind of guy and have many interests and passions, including -**</center> * Music * Photography * Horticulture * Bonsai * Metal detecting * History * Philosophy (Bruce Lee) --- <center> **Baggesen's gold honeysuckle that I trained**</center> ---  <center>**Candytuft flower grown from seed**</center> ---  <center>**One of my family's favourite Daddy meals is 'Toad In The Hole'**</center> --- <center>I joined Steemit in January after being invited by a YouTube acquaintance Huw Richards after I wrote some music for one of his permiculture videos. Huw posted a few times then disappeared. He is now presenting for various television networks here in the UK so I guess he's rather busy with that new found fame. --- https://youtu.be/3KwprzjMSxc --- As you're all probably aware, my passion and skill set lies in creating music and songwriting. I had quite a large back catalogue of songs when I joined Steemit back in January, that had been put out to pasture through a sheer lack of faith in the music industry as a whole, and for us independent artists out there, it was an even bleaker picture. No one buys music anymore, I rarely buy a CD or download anything, so why would people buy or download my music? good question hey? <center></center> <center>[source](http://truestaris.com/musics-new-deal-record-labels-are-doing-a-360/?doing_wp_cron=1534435125.8263781070709228515625) --- I then discover the Open Mic contest and quickly enter a song. I wake up the next morning to a huge upvote from some person called Curie? Who is this generous person I asked myself. Ha ha! I'm sure we've all been there with curie and other huge up-voting curators right? if you've had the pleasure of entering the Open Mic contest you'll probably know exactly what I'm talking about. https://youtu.be/xtfPl9TtT0Y 'Here I Stand' was my first entry into the contest and went down pretty well wit the community. I'd arrived into the Steemit world with a crash, bang, wallop! My love for song writing had been impassioned by the amazing feedback and love shown by a gathering of complete strangers and music fans! I was hooked and wanted to upload some of my old stufio recordings that I'd produced at home on my trusty old Zoom Porta-Studio  --- So, that invite from Huw to the block-chain, has reignited my music career, and my songwriting hasn't showed any signs of easing as o yet! To this day, I still write a song a week minimum with a creative brain, just bursting at the cranium to be released into the wild!</center> --- Thanks for listening, commenting and voting on my music! I really appreciate the love! DC</center> --- <center>You can find my music at the following places!

The music he writes is often heartfelt acoustic indie folk with a sprinkling of rock and country influences, with an occasional world music flavour as heard on his track ‘Dragonfly’ . But most of all, it's his passive emotive thoughts and feelings that are delivered through that soothing vocal, and intricate guitar playing of his.* --- <center>Come and visit me on [EasyDex Discord](https://discord.gg/7sRH4D) --- <center>***Choon is a music streaming service and digital payments ecosystem—designed to solve the music industry’s most fundamental problems.*** [Check out my music on CHOON](https://account.choon.co/account/account)</center> --- <a href="https://choon.co/artists/darrenclaxton/"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-40" src="https://darrenclaxton.files.wordpress.com/2018/08/choon1.jpg" alt="choon" width="302" height="261" /></a> --- All Music, Lyrics and Photography - Copyright (c) 2018 Darren Claxton</center>
