College Athlete Debuts In New Arena - Recording Industry

(Press Release) What’s a college jock with literary talent and an economics degree supposed to do in this economy? Become a recording artist/songwriter, of course.

That’s what Kwame Darko, a member of the nationally-acclaimed University of Maryland soccer team, is pondering after graduating this past December. The 22-year-old releases his mixtape on Jan. 30 as a player in a new arena and is a featured guest at Ozio Restaurant & Lounge, a popular club in the nation’s capital. The release party is hosted by KING Royal Event Group, a lifestyle and entertainment group that caters to young professionals.

The mixtape, titled “Tangerine Tinted Sunglasses”, features 18 tracks including Darko’s original compositions as well as freestyles over popular industry instrumentals. The driving creative forces behind Darko’s release stem from his diverse background and experiences while growing up in suburban Washington, D.C. The songs range from smooth, feel-good sounds to get-up-and-dance club anthems.

A uniquely talented songwriter and recording artist, Darko channels the same energy with his music that he used to help win several soccer titles at both youth and collegiate levels. So far, he has spurned a potentially lucrative career playing soccer to further explore opportunities presented to him in the recording and entertainment industry. Several standouts in the sports and entertainment world are expected to attend Darko’s release party. Get on the guest list by sending an e-mail to reservations@royaleventgroup.com. Kwame Darko’s “Tangerine Tinted Sunglasses” debut mixtape will be available to download from various uploading/file-sharing sites starting Jan. 30 at Kwame Darko Music on Facebook and www.myspace.com/kodmdmusic
