Darius Holbert (born August 5, 1974 in Dallas, Texas) is a touring and recording musician and songwriter and a composer of film scores for movies, television and other media. He has composed music for numerous films including 2013's feature documentary "Trophy Kids" (Peter Berg/HBO), 2011's Hobo with a Shotgun and 2013's Old 37 and contributed original music to Cedar Rapids (2011), Shrink (2011), and World's Greatest Dad (2009), as well as such TV series as American Horror Story, Grey's Anatomy, American Idol and Crash, among others, and an array of commercials, games and short films. "It seems like Holbert can do just about anything in the music world," wrote Movie Maker correspondent Katie Garton.
Holbert graduated from the Arts Magnet, Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts in Dallas. Selected for the touring choir of the Texas Boy Choir in 1987, he joined their tour of Australia as a featured soloist and ultimately composed for and conducted an ensemble within the choir. He studied composition and arranging at London's Royal Academy of Music and the University of North Texas. He has performed and released several albums as a singer-songwriter under the stage name dariustx, and has worked with Dave Brubeck, the Dallas Symphony Orchestra, Britney Spears, Diane Warren, Bobby Brown, Sophie B. Hawkins, Everlast (for whom he co-produced and played pedal-steel and six-string guitars, banjo, keyboards and other instruments on the 2011 album Songs of the Ungrateful Living) and Wu-Tang Clan, among many other artists, songwriters and musical organizations. In 2011 he served as music director for hip-hop group House of Pain's 20th anniversary reunion tour. 2012 saw his short work "When at Last I Leapt into the Jaws" earn him finalist status in a collaboration between Composer's Voice and Movement Research.

In the latest podcast uploaded to KQEK.com's YouTube channel, composer Darius Holbert discusses his entry into film scoring, composing the music for Jason Eisener's grisly and fun Hobo with a Shotgun (2011), the sounds of vintage synths, scoring the series Quick Draw (2013) in the domain of original programming by online film / TV providers, and the music of Oh, the Places You'll Go! (2012), Teddy Saunders' clever translation of Dr. Seuss' final book. Special Thanks to Darius Holbert for his generous time and candor, and Shoshie Aborn at Big Picture Media for facilitating this interview.
