darikas music

Darikas: Saxophone player and producer deeply rooted in Soul, Funk, R&B, Jazz, and Folk music.

At the age of six, he began playing the recorder and switched to the classical clarinet after three years. Many studies later, he discovered the saxophone as his main instrument, learned improvisation, and soon played in various Hamburg band projects.

His (musical) journey took him over the years from Hamburg to Frankfurt/Oder, Thessaloniki, Berlin, and Bonn, before returning to Northern Germany.

He has recorded with artists such as MIA (Tanz der Moleküle), Nadja Benaissa (No Angels), Hans der Kleingärtner (HdK), Grisn Allstars, Monk’s Holiday, La Marche, and Incrowd, and has performed live at festivals and in clubs (SO36, Arena Berlin, Festsaal Kreuzberg, Postbahnhof, Tränenpalast, Knust, Kaiserkeller, Moritzbastei, and many more).
