Artist description Safety Brake is a Studio colaboration of two Musicians from two different parts of the world.Singer-songwriter Darrell Delk was born and raised in Tampa, Florida. At a young age Darrel was introduced to the power of Music by the sound of the Beatles on local radio and real soon it became obvious that the crafting of songs would become his main goal in life. In his teen years Darrell joined various local bands and he became a well known and respected performer on the Southern Stages. His main influences, John Lennon and Paul McCartney mixed with the southern rock roots, caused by growing up in the Sunshine State, gave Darrell his distinct unmistaken very own vocal identity. In 1995 Darrell teamed up with Dutch producer John Boutkam (known from many European successes) to form "Safety Brake". They at first toured the club scene before starting to write their own material for the purpose of recording their first album "gimme a brake" together."Gimme a Brake" is an album containing main stream pop rock material that was merely written for "the fun of it". No looking at the charts to find out what's cool or what could possible sell well. This approach brought about a great album with a wide variety of great sounding songs, clearly reflecting the good time during the making.
