"Not so much ragtime revivalists as post-hip-hop ragtime redefiners, this duo takes the old-school showmanship of Cab Calloway and beefs up the catchy speakeasy jive with throbbing electronics, all the while adopting a heavy dose of neo-soul. The buzz also tells us that this is a must-see live act."  - The Montreal Gazette, July 8th 2017

"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'”.
