Influences: Darci is proud to count as some of her influences some of the legendary and best-selling artists she has sung backup with and/or for over the course of her career so far: Steve Winwood, Dolly Parton, Kim Carnes, Sandi Patty, Amy Grant, Michael W. Smith, The Judds, Glen Campbell, Lee Greenwood, Marie Osmond, John Hiatt, Beth Nielsen Chapman and even those beloved 80's teen icons Tiffany and "Robin Sparkles"! Some of her influences are as vocalists, some as songwriters, some as both: Heart, Aretha Franklin, Pat Benatar, Billy Joel, Elton John, Melissa Etheridge, Janis Joplin, Sting/The Police, Alanis Morissette, Annie Lennox/Eurythmics, No Doubt, Alicia Keys, Seal, Bruce Springsteen, Queen, various Motown artists, pre-crack Whitney Houston, Tina Turner, Chaka Kahn/Rufus, Mariah Carey's first two or three albums, Eve 6, The Beach Boys, early Beatles, Journey, Kansas, Styx, Bon Jovi, Def Leppard, Lionel Richie, Chicago (up till Cetera left), Vonda Shepard, Eric Carmen, Simon & Garfunkel, Phil Collins, Carly Simon, Aimee Mann (indie and proud!), Ella Fitzgerald, Mel Torme, Sara Vaughn, Rosemary Clooney, Manhattan Transfer, Take 6, Johnny Cash, Dolly Parton, Hank Williams Sr., (old, REAL country), Amy Grant, Michael W. Smith, Sandi Patty, Twila Paris, John Williams, Hans Zimmer, Chopin, Beethoven, Debussey...Darci's amazingly talented friends and fellow artists, Debby Holiday , The Wilshires , Levi Kreis , Gigi Hill , Moe Loughran , Austin Hanks and all the other fine folks in her top friends...and Darci's in NO WAY ashamed to admit that she LURVES Kelly Clarkson (and has every intention of getting a song cut on one of her future CDs - MARK THE WORDS).

Sounds Like: Darci's original music sounds like Heart and Melissa Etheridge had a baby that Aretha Franklin carried to term. Her next CD (currently recording) will be like "Rock Chick Darci meets Coffeehouse Darci"...think a mix of Kelly Clarkson and Evanescence on one hand, then the acoustic ballad sides of Heart and Billy Joel all sprinkled with doses of Aretha-fied soul on the other.
Throughout her career Darci has drawn a wide range of comparisons to other artists -- some making perfect sense and some...not so much! However, if you like any of the following artists, chances are Darci has at least one song you'll like, too: Ann Wilson (of Heart), Pat Benatar, Kelly Clarkson, Sass Jordan, Steve Perry (of Journey), Aretha Franklin, Joss Stone, Suzie McNeil (of Rockstar: INXS), Deanna Johnston (also of Rockstar: INXS), Grace Slick, Amy Lee (of Evanescence), Kimberley Locke (of American Idol), Patti Smyth (of Scandal), Amanda Marshall, Sheryl Crow, Annie Lennox, Alanis Morissette, Maria McKee, Stevie Nicks, Melissa Etheridge, Janis Joplin, Carly Simon, Carole King, Jeff Buckley, Linda Ronstadt, Eva Cassidy, Debby Harry (of Blondie), Martha Wash, Tommy Shaw (of Styx), Tina Turner, Kate Bush, Donna Summer, Geoff Tate (of Queensryche), David Coverdale (of Whitesnake), Jimi Jameson (of Survivor), Bessie Smith, Whitney Houston, Sting, Shirley Manson (of Garbage), Olivia Newton-John, Celine Dion, Joan Jett, Melinda Doolittle, Michelle Branch, Avril Lavigne, Sarah McLachlan, James Blunt, Daniel Powter, Shania Twain, Bonnie Raitt, Faith Hill, Carrie Underwood, Carly Smithson (of American Idol), Jennifer Hudson.
