Hey, you! If you’ve got 30 seconds, you’ve got enough time to pre-save my debut EP “Parallel Attention”! I’m so proud of the work that went into this and I’m honored to have collaborated with some legends to bring this to life! . Pre-Save link in bio! .

This is my boy Bagheera. He and I will produce your record, if you want. Or we can put guitar and bass on your next song! He also plays drums, if you need that! -derek . . . . . #cat #studio #musicstudio #recordingartist #recordingstudio #recordingengineer #music #songwriters #musicians #guitarists #bassists #drummers #studiocat #studiocats (at Minneapolis, Minnesota) https://www.instagram.com/p/CESZOqZnm3l/?igshid=klyn6p25sbk0

Excited to be playing some socially-distances events this month. I miss people, I miss live music, I miss being busy with your projects!

Might be super lame, but I literally get butterflies when I see that even one person is listening to something I wrote. . . . . . #songwriter #guitarist #composer newmusic #space #outerspace #fiction #badposture #studio #lofi #music #lofibeats #beats #vaporwave #chill #lofimusic #lofiaesthetic #producer #study #lofivibes #chillhop #art #vibes #chillvibes (at Minneapolis, Minnesota) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCtlwovnA8R/?igshid=2yt2akwvgsy5

10am. Not up by 10am - up UNTIL 10am. Bagheera is telling me to stop, but I just can’t turn my brain off this week. 🥵 This is kind of my life these days. Trying to finish some projects that I’ve been pouring my blood, sweat, and tears into, and I can’t wait to share it all with you. Love you. If you get tired, pull over and give me a call. . . . . . #cats #cat #blackcat #goodluck #parallel #attention #outer #space #time #futuristic #light #dark #from #the #observatory #dream #discover #adventure #explore #brave #worlds #change #new #music (at Minneapolis, Minnesota) https://www.instagram.com/p/CB3w9MqFilR/?igshid=1qost4y6tomoa

So thrilled to be a part of this beauty of a track. @waltzingonwaves is an absolute monster songwriter! To everyone who made this happen, well done. (at Minneapolis, Minnesota) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBnb6I6nxQb/?igshid=d9pr9qmk0lad

Shortly after the murder of George Floyd, this song came out of my studio in deep hours of reflection and sorrow. I write instrumental songs because I often feel that I can portray my thoughts and emotions more accurately with sounds than with words. . But I want to be very clear. EVERY BLACK LIFE MATTERS. I want to be a piece of the process that ends systemic racism. . I wrote this song as a record of the way the world is - the way that we cannot continue to let the world be. . Link in bio.

Go somewhere remote, if you can. A mini road trip might be just what you need. Just sayin’.

Thankful for the time I’ve had this quarantine to hunker down and regain some dexterity and comfort on the fretboard. Damn, I miss playing live. 💔 . . . . . #quarantine #socialdistancing #socialdistancing2020 #stayhome #staysafe #guitar #bass #music #musician #stayinghome #stayingpositive #stayingsafe #togetherathome #alonetogether #corona (at Quarantine) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_Mf1b0HB6f/?igshid=un88pi9fpk14

Looking forward to more good times with @elliottlpage when things settle down. We’ve had a song sitting unfinished since the quarantine interrupted our writing. Time to adapt to remote workflow!
