Darryl Smith, the founder of M.I.D.L., began mentoring music artists in 2003.  He’s not a musician or a singer although he’s a 3rd generation music professional.  He comes from a family of musicians and singers, and has seen the good, the bad and the ugly in the business of music. 

He has worked in the music industry as a Manager, Consultant, Agent, Promoter, Event Coordinator and Executive Producer.  Through it all he has held close to his heart, zeal to help those that aspire to succeed in music. He understands that you must have a firm foundation in life skills; he has never stopped in his pursuit to help inspiring music professionals.  M.I.D.L. is an extension of this helping hand that helps find Music Mentors for those that need mentoring and have a desire to improve their life through music and knowledge.
