This is probably the best cover of a song I have EVER heard. Great job man!

your cover genuinely almost brought tears to my eyes dude

really enjoyed your cover! would be great if you checked out my cover in my profile! thanks!

Oh, love my girl
She's a lit fuse in a rusted world
Scrollin' past the filters, lean in
We don’t kneel, don’t toe their line
Nobody’s getting out just fine
You chase yours, baby
I’ll get mine
Gonna rip it out this time
Oh, yeah!

The old keep preachin’
But we keep reachin’
Could snap tonight
At their old teachin'
They’ve got drones
But we’ve got the numbers
New blood risin’
Kickin' up from under

Come on!
Your red-carpet days are done, baby
The screen goes black, but we still burn, baby
What they built is crackin’
Watch the whole thing turn
Watch the whole thing turn
Watch the whole thing burn
Admire the fire, baby

Yeah, she leans in close
With her tongue like a dare
Talkin’ sins, not stories
While she tangles my hair
Yeah, you walk that edge
With a glass neck in your grip
Sayin' no one gets it—but we’ve lived through it
Clocked your life out for some hollow clicks
We’re comin’ through, baby—no parlor tricks

We rise, we grind, no leash, no border
One match lit, now feel the order
We ride, we spin, we chase that fever
One more hit, get lost, don’t need her
We rise, we grind, no comin’ back
No step back when you attack

Hey, go bunker down, baby
I’ll break through the wires
Gotta ride with the chaos
While the whole thing tires
Hey, don’t wait up, baby
The dark runs deep tonight
I got her mouth in my ear
And the fire’s feelin’ right

We rise, we grind, no leash, no border
We rise, we grind, now feel the order
We ride, we spin, we chase that fever
We rise, we grind, get lost, don’t need her

But I love my girl
She’s got teeth and smoke in her stare
Yeah, I see you
Come on

Yeah, love my girl
She’s sharp, electric—lookin’ real good
Yeah, I see you
Come on

"We are here, on this planet, to know love” says Derek, a theme that is rampant throughout his seamless, organic songwriting and spirit.  "Despite our conflicting upbringings and isolated experiences, we experience the most important emotion exactly the same.”  With his arresting blue eyes, he draws you in and ultimately possesses you with his message, sprawled over an epic album that took years and perseverance in making. His quest in recent travels and performances has taken him across the waters.  From places like Haiti, where he wrote the socially relevant “Shelter”, to Holland, France, Bolivia, and Brazil - where he sang to celebrate life and passion, his variety of experience has etched in him a strong sense of purpose through music.

His massive talent has been shared with some of today's hottest national acts such as Robin Thicke, Snoop Dogg, John Legend, Matisyahu, Maroon 5, Nikka Costa, and Dirty Vegas - to name a few.  In March 2010, he was honored by the Grammy Association as one of six finalist for the '2010 Florida Grammy Showcase'. His open-mindedness and extreme influences, crossing the arc from Bjork and Radiohead, to Garth Brooks, Peter Gabriel and Tiesto have both new and established artists fighting for his time to produce their current projects.

Hailing from the historic musical air of Memphis, Derek started composing as soon as he could write, and wasted no time in starting a band and touring independently.  His intense itinerary on the road and in the studio has developed a loyal and motivated fan base.  With each set, he breaks the barrier between artist and audience, with a voice that is haunting and stirring. “I want to tell the whole story, the entire world I am experiencing, every word is true, every note is important”, a sensibility reaching the ears with roots in timeless rock, but surprising with electronic rhythms and ethereal soundscapes. We often hear him mention the “computer” as "just another instrument - another tool to convey emotion".  As a result, he has strived and excelled in every aspect of modern music from writing, to production, to sound engineering, resulting in truly individual records.

In all his endeavors though, Derek maintains his integrity and his first love - being an artist. It all came together when he relocated to Miami, FL in early 2008. “It's where I knew I would be free to experiment with any and every genre - to find my own wavelength."  It is the birthplace of songs like “Guilty Pleasure” and “My Only”, which he feels are records that combine the 'old and new'….'analogue and digital'.

Derek is excited about the future and sharing his collection with the world.  “I'm ready now. I'm as open as I've ever been. I know myself. I have found 'My Dream'”.
