"Derek incorporates precious and effective stage craft techniques in his performance that many long-term seasoned Musicians often overlook. He is naturally engaging and his charming high energy is infectious to the effect of being viral. This guy rises to... and then exceeds expectations! He takes his vocation to heart, then opens that same heart to his fans. From a business aspect... self motivated and professional, Derek "Hustles"!"
