When asked if he will be staying in the country or if he will be going back to Canada where he was raised and became finalist of reality television show 'The Next Star', Darren said that he might choose not to leave if he will be offered projects here in the Philippines.
"Kung may offer I’ll stay here po," he relayed. But one thing is for sure, Darren will keep on doing what he loves. "I’ll continue my singing," he said.
Darren and the other 'Voice Kids' artists will be doing a charity concert called "Boses ng Bulilit, Kami Ulit! for the benefit of recent typhoon victims in the next few days.
