Alive At Night

"Mississippi, a state synonymous for producing maverick’s in music such as B.B. King, Jimmy Rodgers, Conway Twitty, Faith Hill, Jimmy Buffet and the “King of Rock-N-Roll", Elvis Presley is home to new age artist Derek Norsworthy. The 2018 Mississippi Songwriter of the Year produces songs soaked in muddy water reverberating roots in blues, gospel, Motown, country, pop and rock & roll creating a new hybrid sound. The fusion of outstanding songs, dueling guitars, dynamic beats, echoing horns and host of singers, produces a distinctive sound and listening experience."

Derek Norsworthy describes "Beach Body" as a song of discovered one's truth self in the profound words: " We are all born and tempted to conform to social standards or habits passed down from generation to generation and that doesn’t always reflect the unique person we are created to be. In this particular lyric, I saw the transformation occur is someone close to me who literally spent the youth of their life playing the role of the pageant type, suppressing her true beauty. And then, one summer took leap of faith trip to Bonarroo and discovered her true self. I think we all need to be reminded that who we are taught to be is always who we were created to be."
