  • Darren Robinson is an American guitarist and background singer in the Californian band, Phantom Planet. He helped form the band during his teenage years with the lead singer Alex Greenwald, and ex-band member Jason Schwartzman, in 1994. The band is now on an indefinite hiatus. He shares the same full name as the late lead rapper of The Fat Boys, who were a Brooklyn hip-hop music trio who emerged in the 1980s. Robinson attended the Hamilton High School "Humanities" program in Los Angeles, California from 1994 to 1996. He decided against the Academy of Music program simply because it required an extra hour of school each day. He began playing guitar at the age of eleven. He took guitar lessons for about two years and then decided to learn more about music through books and his band mates. He is fond of Gibson guitars. Darren is also the primary author of the Phantom Planet blog, and seems to be the main source of information regarding the band and its progress. Darren is going to tour with the band Miniature Tigers in January, February and March of 2009. As of now he is only a temporary member, however, since Phantom Planet has gone on hiatus, ultimately his time with the Miniature Tigers is unknown.
