Dahrel is an emotionally-driven singer, writer, and creative whose music is less about chasing a career and more about honoring a burning desire to express and connect. Based in Saint Louis, he uses sound as another arm of his artistic self — intimate, soulful, and heavy with feeling. His songs explore the tangled threads of love, longing, loss, broken friendships, sensuality, and self-reflection, offering listeners a space to sit with themselves and feel deeply.

With a sound that's smooth, sad, rich, and vulnerable, Dahrel breaks ground as a young, gay, Black man whose work doesn’t follow the genre boxes or tropes — instead, he chooses emotional truth and storytelling. He’s also a one-man creative force: designing visuals, editing album art, photographing himself, arranging vocals, remixing tracks, and writing every lyric with care. His debut album Foreground (2022) introduced him as a raw and introspective voice unafraid to speak on social issues and black male femininity. What ties all his work together — from music to visuals — is his honest, feminine, affectionate, and ethereal spirit.

He makes music for people who need grounding. For people who want to feel seen. For people who, like him, are still discovering where they fit in this world.
