April 14, 200619 yr Author Dive In With Darius Siva Darshan NSTP e-media/Youthquake, Malaysia 9 May 2003 Dive In is Darius' debut album, done in collaboration with legendary U2 producer Steve Lillywhite. The album features all-new material. His British debut single Colourblind shot to No. 1 last August. YQ: You once said that Steve Lilywhite was your "producer idol". How was it like working with him? Darius: It was really unexpected. I had just participated in Pop Idol and had turned down the recording contract. I had nowhere to go. A friend passed a recording of Colourblind to him. Before I knew it, he'd called and invited me over for dinner. He missed Pop Idol and Popstars since he had been away from Britain for a few years. So he didn't really know who I was. I love it that he recognised me for my talent. That was incredible! I never dreamt that a producer whom I hold in such high regard would be producing my first album. He's been an integral part of U2 and Travis' careers to name but two. etc.
