Darren Gillis

Beth Brown interviews Darren Gillis about his latest single, “Me and You” which is gaining momentum in the Australian Country Charts.

An independent Australian artist and creator of original country music. Darren Gillis writes his music based around experiences along life’s road. 
 Inspired by artists such as Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Travis Tritt and Merle Haggard, Darren’s music has a country feel with a blues twist which is upbeat, fun and easy to listen to. Each song tells a story and has been written from the heart. He hopes that his audience can relate in their own way.
