Darian Donovan Thomas
Darian Donovan Thomas is an interdisciplinary artist based in Brooklyn. He tours the world with Arooj Aftab, Balún, Wild Up, and Moses Sumney and as a solo artist. His classical compositions have been premiered by Ensemble Signal, Sō Percussion, Adam Tendler, and many others in countries around the global West. Thomas is also a ferociously gay Blaxican from Texas. Being at the intersection of so many identities means having the opportunity to speak to and create for multiple people at once. His goal is to create spaces where everyone feels heard, acknowledged, and communicated to. To remind people—even if for just a moment—that they’re alive right now and present in this moment.
