After years of touring the world with top artists like Gwen Stefani, Shania Twain, Shakira, Air Supply and many others, the veteran LA bass player decided to take a slight detour from the life of a”hired gun” and focus on his own instrumental quintet.  Described as “Seventies-Inspired Instrumental Jams with Fewer Bass Solos Than You Would Expect”, Derek and his band blend funk, blues, soul, jazz, southern rock and seventies cop show style soundtrack music into a genre all their own.  2020 saw the release “Eleven Years Later”, Derek’s first solo album since the release of his 2009 debut “Let the Games Begin…”, and now Origin Story is set for release on all streaming and download platforms on March 25th.  The 2-disc vinyl version (with bonus live tracks) will be available sometime in May 2024.
