Hello my name is Derrick and I am 44. I am an aspiring musician who writes original music. I play many other genres other than rock, however this is the most generic heading / genre for alot of what I write so I will be posting multiple songs here when the opportunity arises. For now enjoy the music...
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Well I started playing guitar 13 years ago and have not put it down since. I like almost all styles of music.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Yes I do session work sometimes and am in a band as well. I also do private guitar instruction for anyone interested. You can reach me at
