Darren Housholder: How he Built A Global EMPIRE!


n this series, we revisit iconic moments, photos, and stories from the careers of legendary musicians… told by the artists themselves.

And for Episode 1, we’re joined by none other than Shrapnel Records royalty — Darren Housholder🎸🔥

From studying at Berklee College of Music… to landing a life-changing feature in Mike Varney’s legendary Spotlight column in Guitar Player Magazine back in 1988… Darren takes us deep into the wild world of shred guitar during the late ‘80s and early ‘90s!

We discuss:
⚡ Darren’s rise through the underground shred scene
⚡ His years playing with W.A.S.P. — and the INSANE reason he got kicked out of the band
⚡ Touring and recording with Love/Hate
⚡ Recording guitar tracks for Enuff Z’Nuff’s album Strength… only to NOT get the gig 😳
⚡ The realities of surviving the music business in the shred era
⚡ Walking away from the industry entirely
⚡ And how he went on to build a GLOBAL supplement empire with Psycho Pharma but still is able to do what he loves . . . SHRED! 🎸
⚡️ Darren’s NEW ALBUM “A Vision For You”

This is an unbelievable story of reinvention, resilience, and pure shred history.
