A little about Big City (AKA Darrin Jefferson)
Darrin was born in Bayside Queens New York. NY will always be home for him, but he really considers South Carolina home since that's where he matured and became a man. Darrin grew up in a small town called Trenton South Carolina.
One of Darrin’s best kept secrets was his voice. Only a select few ever really heard him sing. Just like many, Darrin was in his church choir, but very seldom he would take the front and lead a song. He is very familiar with music, he was a working DJ by the age of 12 in local night clubs. His mixing and scratching might have been a little too early for the styles in the south, but he was well know throughout Aiken, Edgefield, and Richmond County for his smooth MC skills, along with be able to get a party hype.
Very few people even know that while Darrin was away on a football scholarship, he also worked for a radio station in North Carolina. His DJ name back then was DJ Fresh for WSOE 89.3. He was a celebrity DJ for a lot of the hot spots in Burlington (Alamance County), North Carolina and had a huge fan base there.
His passion has always been singing.
Darrin finally met the love of his life that allowed him to dream. She allowed him to finally step out and pursue his passion for music, so 2001 she bought him a key board and told him to teach himself how to play. Who would have thought seven years later, he would be the musician he is today. Darrin played around with that little Casio keyboard for two years, until he upgraded to a Casio that had six tracks to record on. History was in the making. Since 2001, Darrin has purchased some of the best equipment in the industry and he has produced over 1000 songs to his credit. His sound is like a Jazz meet hip hop fussion. Darrin hates to be labeled as a one dementional artist, so he prides himself on being able to produce anything for anyone. Currently he has three different profiles myspace to showcase how diverse his music and creativity is.

You will hear anything from Jazz, Blue’s, hip hop, Salsa, Reggeaton, R&B, Rock, and maybe a little country.
Darrin’s voice is a soulful, powerful, soothingly smooth low tenor. He demands attention when he is on stage, capturing the ladies hearts with his beautifully textured masculine tone. Darrin always deliver a message of love and hope between man and woman. The song lovers has a lot of meaning to Darrin for a few reasons. It was the very first song he ever wrote, the first song he ever produced, (that’s why the music might be a little week on this recording. It was done with a Casio), and it was the song he sang for his wife at there wedding.
This is Darrin A. Jefferson of Big City Entertainment and I look forward to working with whomever wants to collaborate. There is enough room for all of us in on this stage, so make room or I’ll take room. Things are getting ready to happen big time for myself and the people I’m currently working with. Our mission is to make music that sounds good, but feels good as well.
At Big City, we make Hits not Promises……………………
