about me

It’s nice to meet you!

My name is Darby. I recently graduated with my B.M. in Commercial Music: Film Scoring from Liberty University. My composition credits include Faded Identity (2022), Loser’s Anonymous (2022), Aimless (2021). I love working with a director to create the perfect score for a film, trailer, or commercial. While at Liberty, I spent time leading the marching band as a drum major. I’ve spent time arranging stand tunes, marching band shows, chamber pieces for all instrumentations, and choral pieces. My works have been premiered at ClarinetFest 2022 and have been heard on ESPN. In my free time, you can find me spending quality time with my fiancĂ© and my bunny Brahms.

This is Brahms

Brahms is my partner-in-crime. He’s the one I run everything by. The ideas man. My legal counsel. He is an expert at Microsoft Office and draws up all my contracts. He receives a portion of my income in the form of hay, strawberries, and lettuce. He does not pay rent.

“It was so great to work with Darby! She is so sweet and creative, and was excited to try a bunch of crazy ideas on our science fiction film. We hired her again for another film and fell in love with the score for that one as well. Darby has an amazing grasp of story, and expressing character and theme through music. We’re excited to work with her in the future!” -L. McSweeney
