Youngr (Dario Younger Brigham-Bowes, also known as Dario Darnell) is a British singer, songwriter, producer and musician. The son of August Darnell (alias Kid Creole of Kid Creole and the Coconuts), he was born in Urmston, near Manchester, England, on 27 February 1989. He began his music career in 2012, forming Liverpool-based act Picture Book with his brother Lorne Ashley Brigham-Bowes. He has recorded and performed as a solo artist under the name Youngr since 2016. Picture Book The two multi-instrumentalist brothers attended university at the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts (LIPA), where they developed their musical skills, collaborated with other artists, and developed the electronic dance sound that characterized Picture Book's debut EP At Last, released 6 February 2012. The brothers co-wrote and co-recorded the tracks with singer-songwriter Greta Svabo Bech, whose contributions to the project gained her the notoriety that led to her collaboration with Deadmau5 on "Raise Your Weapon." A notable early credit from these years was the brothers' co-write of the track "My Love" from Cher's 2013 album Closer to the Truth. When Bech left the Picture Book project, Dario took over front-man duties for the band, which they renamed Stony Browder Jr. after the brothers' late uncle, who had led their father's first project, Dr. Buzzard's Original Savannah Band. Dario's brother Ash continued to lead Stony Browder Jr. after Dario embarked on his solo career as Youngr. Solo career Dario began to gain popularity as a solo artist partly through a series of one-take performance videos he released on Facebook and his YouTube channel, covering artists such as Daft Punk, Dua Lipa, Tove Lo, Linkin Park, and Jamiroquai. Jamiroquai's lead singer, Jay Kay, specifically name-checked Youngr's live mashup of his band's songs, which included "Virtual Insanity", "Little L", "Cosmic Girl", and "Canned Heat". In April 2016, he released the track "Out of My System." It became a viral hit, and 10 months later had been streamed 20 million times on Spotify, a total that later rose to over 37 million. Following its success he went out on a world tour, which included a February 27, 2017, show at the O2 ABC. While on tour, he collaborated on remixes with artists in South America and India. A second viral hit came with his bootleg of The Temper Trap’s "Sweet Disposition", which was viewed over 15 million times in its first two weeks. On the strength of
