At Project Paris, we don’t just record music — we build legacy.
Meet the founder
Darius Ennin began his journey in audio engineering through the Recording Connection program in his hometown of Dallas, Texas. There, he completed his first internship under the guidance of Rick Rooney—who had been mentored by the legendary Dr. Dre. Rick instilled in Darius the same level of discipline and attention to detail that shaped his early career.
After a successful year under Rick’s mentorship, Darius went on to attend Rider University, where he majored in Popular Music Culture. While pursuing his studies, he continued to engineer and coach artists on the side, which eventually led him to an internship in New York City.
Following his time in several NYC studios, Darius rediscovered his true passion—songwriting. He began participating in writing camps for artists across Pop, R&B, and Hip-Hop, experiences that reignited his entrepreneurial spirit. This drive led him to establish his own independent label, Project Paris LLC.

Originally created to release and publish his own music, Project Paris soon evolved into something greater. Darius’s deep-rooted desire to help artists develop their craft and navigate the industry inspired him to offer coaching and artist development sessions.
Balancing his work in music with modeling and bartending, Darius continues to embrace life as a true creative. As he often says, “I’m a true creative and free spirit. I go where my passion pulls me. Whether it’s making music in the studio or bartending, I make sure what I’m doing doesn’t feel like work. If it does, I’m done.”
Through Project Paris, Darius has dedicated his life to empowering other creatives to discover their purpose, build confidence, and find their voice in an ever-noisy world
