Darryn is the lead singer, founder, and songwriter of On Tracy Lane. Darryn grew up in Granite City, IL (15 minutes from St. Louis, MO). He was influenced by his mother who was infatuated with Elvis Presley growing up, his father who sings bass in church, his grandfather who gave him a Gibson Les Paul Jr. when he started guitar lessons at age 13, his Uncle who played guitar and wrote songs, and a cousin who was a country singer. He started singing at age 16 in a high school garage rock band. After graduating high school and spending a year going to college at Illinois State Univ., Darryn moved to California to pursue his dream. He played in a hard rock band in San Diego, CA and an acoustic duo and pop-rock band in Los Angeles, CA while continuing his college education. (Darryn has Bachelor of Science degree in Communications from Cal Poly Pomona, an hour east of Los Angeles) He founded On Tracy Lane in Los Angeles in 2003. In 2004, OTL got a huge break having actress Lacey Chabert in their debut music video. It was at this time when Darryn first licensed several songs to MTV and other TV shows and films. In Los Angeles OTL opened for American Hi-Fi, Phantom Planet, and Local H. In 2005, OTL switched headquarters to his hometown area of St. Louis, MO. Here Darryn licensed more music and OTL opened for Avril Lavigne and Butch Walker. This is also the time Darryn hooked up with guitarist and right hand man Jerry McFarland. Darryn and Jerry decided to add yet another chapter to the OTL story by moving to Nashville, TN in 2008. On Tracy Lane played some huge shows in Nashville including an Armed Forces Entertainment trip to Greenland to play for the US troops at the Thule Air Force Base. They are currently based in St. Louis, MO again but still travel to Nashville, TN quite a bit for shows and networking. Darryn is very close to his parents Ron & Carolyn and brother Damon, sister-in-law Lori, niece Nora, & nephew Gavyn. He is a huge sports fan and remains loyal to his hometown teams.
