“I had the privilege of working with Darren Salmieri while I was at Sony records. He is by far my favorite A&R rep that I have ever worked with. Darren has genuine enthusiasm for the artists he supports and is a “surprise and delight” type of creative thinker. While working with him I felt as though I had a true interconnectivity with the label in the supportive way that an artist needs in expanding their creative universe”.

– Steve Vai

“I have known and respected Darren for many years. There are very few people that I trust with mixes and masters for legendary artists and Darren is atop that list. His knowledge of music is impressive of course, but more than that, it is his insight and what he does with that knowledge that blows my mind.”

– Joel Mark – Executive Manager, YMU Group

“Working with Darren on a series of albums and One-of-a-Kind releases has always been very easy and a positive experience on every level….creatively, technically and personally. Darren has an innate ability to navigate the potential conflicting worlds of the artist and corporate desires with the result of each party achieving success.”
