Multi-instrumentalist Derek McClardy lives in Atlanta, Georgia where he serves as a college and young adult minister at North Atlanta Church of Christ. He has a home-studio where he writes, records, and produces 100% of his music. "My music inspiration has always come from God and experiences. Events in my life have caused me to run toward music as a sanctuary and write those experiences down as a way to express myself. I shouldn't be here today, but I am because God brought me through, and I plan to sing about that as long as I live." 

Derek started producing with Logic Pro and a midi keyboard in 2015, and now has released his first self-produced EP. He has since moved on to audio engineering and producing other projects out of Atlanta. You can find all him music on Spotify, iTunes, Apple Music, and amazon music.
