Bio
A singer from birth, Derek has been in choirs and musicals from a very young age. Performing with such choirs as the Opera Lyra boys choir and the Ottawa Chamber Choir has given him experiences in the greatest of stages, from the NAC to the yearly memorial on remembrance day. Through school, Derek participated in many musicals in fairly significant roles, always raising the bar for musical excellence.
The addition of the guitar to his repertoire in 2008 has allowed Derek to branch out on his own, writing his own original music, reaching down deeply and showcasing his incredible talents. Reaching into a broad variety of influences ranging from the low-key Bright Eyes to the angry Rise Against, Derek's music shows hints from every corner of music while always having his own distinct touch.
Uniquely, Derek performs with a classical nylon-string guitar, giving his songs a much softer, more mellow feel. He uses it as if it were a standard acoustic guitar, however, giving Derek's music a sound that is rarely heard elsewhere.
