However, after hanging out in the studio for a while, he decided to give music a try. According to Darassa, he is a versatile musician who has been encouraged to pursue different music genres by his producers. He draws inspiration from the legendary Prof. Jay.

After several years of soul searching, Darassa turned on a new leaf in 2014 introducing a new sound. His notable early releases included ‘Sikati Tamaa’ where he featured Ben Pol. He, however, took a music break for one year and returned in 2016. He worked with Rich Mavoko on the ‘Utanipenda’ single. In the same year, Darassa's career took a new turn when he released the ‘Muziki’ single featuring Ben Bol. The song received massive airplay across East Africa. Notably, the song's popularity was also attributed to allegations that some lines were taking a dig at Diamond Platnumz.
Once again, Darassa took a music hiatus before emerging again in 2018. He has worked with Kenya’s Nameless, Harmonize, Jux, and South Africa’s Sho Madjozi. Currently, Darassa runs and operates the Classic Music Group (CMG) Management.
