Derick Howard(solo)
Singer/songwriter sometimes described as a one man band from Columbus, IN.
I perform mainly around the central and southern Indiana area. But I have performed as far east as West Virginia@The Spring Fling Music Festival where I was sandwitched between Keller Williams and Ekoostik Hookah and as far west as Hermosa Beach California where I performed with Rich Hardesty, MoeZ MD, and many other great musicians.
I remember listening to both Alabama and Bon Jovi when I was like 8 years old. But around the age of 13 I started listening to alot of rap and hip hop and then finally around the age of 15 or so I started listening to more rock, bluegrass, and jam bands. But it wasn't until I was 16 that I started appreciating music and actually thought about playing guitar. I took lessons for a few months but didn't ever practice so I decided to quit and I actually put the guitar down for a few months.
Listening to good music and hearing good live acts is what mainly got me inspired to play all the time and also to start practicing on my own. I was 18 when I first started writing songs and 19 or 20 when I first started getting paying gigs. And now I am 25 and still working at and getting to do what I love.
(In a nut shell) I am a hard working professional musician who strives for perfection and enjoys performing for any audience!!!Band/artist history
