"Somewhere Out There rocks Deron! I was just at a James Blunt concert last night and this song is better than anything I heard there. Thanks for the listen."

Deron Wade is the new artist on the LA scene. With a blend of acoustic rock melodies that keep your head bobbing and your foot tapping for days on end, it's no wonder so many people are talking about him. His debut album "Somewhere Out There" has already hit the college radio air waves, including Santa Monica's well known 88.9FM, KCRW.

As an independent artist, Deron Wade has played everywhere from the underground Subway stations in MA, to the streets of Time Square and the coffee houses in between. He has played dive bars, record label showcases, clubs, schools, weddings, churches, museums and even out-door family picnics. No matter how dirty or shabby a spot, if there's a space, Deron Wade will play it. No doubt this persistent work ethic came from his early years as a boy growing up in MT. As a Montanan, Deron learned early on to appreciate the "little things" in life and follow his dream.

"My parents were always big dreamers. While other kids were told to grow up, mine told me to grow down. (Laughs) Guess that was just part of living in MT, I never took myself to seriously. If you did, you belonged in the fields with the cows."

As a senior year in high-school, his family moved to MA where he fell in with a crowd of other like-minded musicians, soon after they started playing together and his first band was formed. "Nineset."

"That was a great band. We used to meet in my friend's parents basement and would play until we were told to stop. You never knew what time it was there. The place had one light and one of our rules was no clocks. (Laughs) So it was really a Musician's paradise, especially since we we were so close to the kitchen."

Since Nineset, Deron hasn't stopped. While pursuing his College Degree at Emerson College in Boston he composed, recorded and produced his debut album, "Somewhere Out There." But this was no simple feat

"That was the time I realized how expensive producing an independent album really is. It's all your money. I had nothing left after that. After graduation, I moved to NYC for a year and worked a 9 hour sales job to raise enough money to Master and Produce it Professionally. I'm proud to say, what's on my album took 2 years. So anyone who purchases it, knows it's the cat's pajamas."

On Nov. 3rd 2005, Deron Wade put the pedal to the MEDAL and moved to Los Angeles, where he is currently marketing his music to TV/Film Music Supervisors and touring the local college/music circuit in and around the LA.

With great songs, a solid head on his shoulder and a great stage presence, Deron Wade is no doubt, a strong artistic force in the Music Industry today.
