A designer by day, musician by night. Derek Stroker has proven himself time and time again as a rising force in today’s music scene. With 6 album releases under his belt, he is no exception to the golden rule. There is no substitute for hard work. Derek found his passion for music after his parents purchased his first drum set over 20 years ago. From the drums, he quickly moved on to guitar, then songwriting and producing. His latest release ‘Lost and Found’ is an emotionally charged, acoustic infused EP that’s deeply rooted in R&B and neo-soul music. Growing up, the sounds of BB King, Cream and The Beatles vibrated through the walls of his childhood home in Miami. There’s no denying that when you listen to the songs from his previous albums ‘Rise and Shine’ as well as ‘Love & Colour.’ From earthy reggae vibes to a heartfelt pop ballad, you’ll find something you’ll love in Derek’s catalog of music. Now, a devoted husband and father of two, Derek is diving headfirst into a new musical journey that will certainly grab your attention. “Honestly, I’ve never felt so inspired yet devastated… we are living in a broken world, and are in need of music that represents unrelenting love, brutal honestly and undeniable hopefulness.” Inspired by current events and his love for artists like Al Green, John Legend, and Gary Clark Jr., Derek is on track to record multiple projects and visuals to be released later this year.
