Gospel Takes the Spotlight: DARIUS. Turns “HRS & HRS” Into a Soul-Stirring Praise Anthem
R&B and gospel fans can’t stop talking about it—and for good reason. When DARIUS dropped his gospel rendition of Muni Long’s chart-topping hit “HRS & HRS,” he didn’t just cover a song, he transformed it into a heartfelt worship experience that’s flooding timelines, church playlists, and hearts across the nation.
For those just discovering him, DARIUS. isn’t your average artist. Hailing from the white sandy shores of Clearwater, Florida, the singer, songwriter, producer, and pastor blends the soul of Gospel with the smoothness of R&B, the intimacy of CCM, the warmth of Jazz, and the fire of Soul. His style is both timeless and futuristic—bridging generations with sounds that feel like a Sunday morning choir and a Saturday night jam session rolled into one.
He first made waves in 2012 with “There is a God”—a breakout single that went viral and opened doors to The Voice, American Idol, BET’s Sunday Best, and The Word Network LIVE. Now signed to TRIBL Records, the home of Grammy®-winning greats like Maverick City Music and Naomi Raine, DARIUS. is preparing to drop his highly anticipated live LP “Live By Faith” (Live in Tampa) featuring gospel heavyweights Jonathan Nelson, B.Slade, and Vanessa Bell Armstrong.
But his influence goes far beyond the mic.
As Lead Pastor of Avenue Tampa, DARIUS. pours into his community with the same passion he puts into his music—drawing from a life story marked by resilience, from overcoming divorce and homelessness to building a business out of the trunk of his car.
With every note, DARIUS proves he’s not just making music, he’s creating moments that are seen, heard, and felt. And with this gospel twist on “HRS & HRS”, he’s reminding the world that worship can be as fresh as it is timeless.
