 Darin
Hebert was born in New Orleans, La.
As a teenager he heard The Stamps Quartet singing
on “Elvis from Hawaii”. He was
particularly intrigued by the bass singer, Mr.
J.D. Sumner. He asked his father to help him buy
a sound system and he found some other boys in
his school who were willing to sing Gospel music.
Of course he sang the bass part.While still in high school he began
singing with some well-known Gospel groups in the
Oak Grove, La. area. He began drawing the
attention of fans with his quickly developing
rich bass voice. He joined The Homesteaders
during the last semester of his Senior year at
Oak Grove, fulfilling his dream of singing Gospel
music full-time. While still in his teens he was
promoted as “the lowest teenage bass singer
in Gospel music”. That fact was never
disputed.
Darin was recently
discovered by Mr. Harold Gilley, one of Gospel
music’s all-time best bass singers. He took
a special interest in him and stated that in his
opinion he is one of the finest young bass
singers in the field.
Darin & his wife Kallie
live just outside Weleetka and they are expecting
their first child in August of 2009.
