DVR3N

DVR3N or more commonly know as Darren is the lead singer and guitarist of Malaysian pop punk band, An Honest Mistake.

He started playing music at the age of 14 in church; beginning with the bass guitar and then picking up guitar as well as drums and keyboard. He joined his first band, Army Of Three, an alternative rock band at the age of 18 (2005) as a bassist and backup vocalist. The band has since recorded 3 albums; all of which he performed and recorded.

In 2010, Darren left Army Of Three to fully pursue An Honest Mistake (started in 2008). AHM has released 3 albums, a Christmas EP and an EP of covers, The Corporate EP. The band is actively releasing music and are working on a new full length album.

Darren also runs an independent record label, An Honest Mistake Records where he manages, develops and markets artistes. He is also a radio host on local radio stations Rakita & aforadio.

DVR3N was birthed out of the pandemic; stuck at home with no end in sight. A week was all it took for 5 songs to be written and recorded from start to end; all from home. According to Darren, "I've always wanted to write and release some ambient instrumental music and there's no better time than now. I guess my frustrations are beyond words and that's how these songs came to being. They each have uplifting melodies and a feeling of triumph signifying joy, peace and victory. I just want people to get lost in the music and for them to feel free even if it's just for awhile".
