WHO ARE DARKMINDS?
In January 2019, Daniel Ellsworth (Daniel Ellsworth + The Great Lakes) was paired with L.A. producer Christopher “C4 “ Umana (Big Sean, Trey Songz, Kelly Rowland, Musiq Soulchild) for a songwriting session, and the two artists immediately clicked, soon forming collaborative pop hip-hop- duo DARKMINDS. Blending Ellsworth’s bold pop hooks and cheerful falsetto with C4’s modern hip-hop beats and sleek production, the pair released several singles in 2020, landing features in nationwide ads for Apple, PGA Tour, Vh1, KT Corporation, and GQ Sports as well as movies and shows on Netflix, Disney+, ABC, NBC, CBS, and FOX, before hunkering down to record two full-length albums, Good News and Monument, both of which released in 2021. This year the pair have released 2 singles - Run (Bonnie + Clyde) as heard in HBO Max’s Pretty Little Liars and Standing Tall as heard in Netflix’s That’s Amor. Expect more new music before the years end. DARKMINDS is just getting started.
