"I'm like the poor man's Black Thought," a reference to the lead MC from the group The Roots. Derek is a 1994 graduate of Indian River High School in Chesapeake, VA. He attended the University of South Carolina and came back to Virginia after he graduated in 1999. In Richmond, and as part of a group called Ugly People (an acronym, he said, that means either U Gotta Love Yourself or Understand God Loves You), he performed at open mics and shows. In time, buzz built, and his group opened for The Roots, the acclaimed hip-hop act that's now the house band on NBC's "Late Night With Jimmy Fallon." Derek added 32zero to his name because it was the first few digits of his phone number. In 2004 he returned to Hampton Roads. Then on his own as a solo artist, he did more open mics around town, especially The Fuzz Band's Fuzzy Wednesdays show, but became dismayed at how the music had changed over the years.His journey to breaking into the music industry and creating an album started after one open-mic night at the now-closed Relative Theory Records shop on Granby Street in Norfolk, VA.It was there were he met super producer Nottz who was on the cusp then of working with the likes of Dr. Dre and celebrated producer J Dilla. Nottz invited Derek to his studio and they built melodic relationship working together.
