Darrius's favourite piano music is River Flows in You by Yiruma，a Korean musician．It took Darrius a year to learn it．"I have to come up with my own way with only 4 fingers，" he said．When he succeeded，he felt so proud．Later he was lucky enough to play the music together with Yiruma at a famous concert hall!
