After becoming a professional musician at a very early age, specializing in smooth jazz, funk and R&B, Darrius has since shared stages with a wide variety of artists, including Grammy-nominated singer Martha Munizzi, Darren Rahn, Tim Bowman, Tamia, and Jordan Knight.  He has also had his music featured on the VH1 series, Love and Hip Hop.  Jamar’s first solo EP, Bounce Back, was released in September 2015.  Darrius Jamar proudly plays GHS strings.
