​Darren McStay (b. 1977), hailing from London, UK, is a multidisciplinary artist and voice coach. He currently resides in Helsinki, Finland, where he runs Polymath House Productions. From his studio, Darren creates original one-off unique paintings, short films, regularly releases new music and has produced close to a thousand YouTube videos for his channel Improve Your voice. ​

McStay initially trained in Graphic design and Fine art before apprenticing as a tattoo artist. He had always been passionate about Film, but it wasn't until some time later (when he completed a Masters's Degree in Acting) that he would follow a more creative "hands-on" role both in front of and behind the camera. 

​As a visual artist, Darren incorporates pop, street and tattoo art in his otherwise expressionistic colourful and dynamic paintings.

Driven by his fascination with the human condition and the complexities of our emotions and behaviours, Darren's work explores themes of identity, class, and self-perception, inviting viewers to engage with the art on a personal level. 

His unique approach to visual art joins Darren's other creative mediums in a marriage that fully satisfies his deep creative urges, interests and scope of creative expression.

... and If that wasn't enough, Darren is also a passionate songwriter :) Check out his music on Spotify.
