We actively choose to embody the meaning of “partner”. We are in this together, bringing ourselves completely to the relationship.
We would like to thank you for supporting Darren and Tara in this year's competition. Your participation allows us to aid both the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank and Oceana in their respective missions to support hunger relief and ocean conservation.
We met later in life, unexpectedly, through DJing on Twitch. Same city, same musical tribe—it just clicked. Our friendship came first, built on laughter, creativity, and shared adventures. From that deep connection, love grew. We choose each other every day, through highs and lows, always coming back to “us.” It’s not just romance—it’s a bond rooted in music, trust, and choosing to grow together.
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?One of our favorite days had no agenda: best friends wrapped in blankets for hours, crafting ridiculous family stories that had us in tears. It was pure laughter, the kind that leaves your cheeks sore and your heart full. That playfulness came from deep trust and feeling completely safe with each other. In those silly, unfiltered moments, we feel the most connected, the most “us.”
What would you do with $20,000?We’d invest in our growing DJ careers as a couple: expanding our gear, producing original tracks, and bringing live sets to new stages celebrating music, connection, and creativity. Our journey began with a shared love of music, and together we’ve already found success. The prize money would amplify our creative reach and help us turn up the volume on our dream.
