Born in Indiana, Derek Fiechter began composing music at the age of fourteen. Over the years, he's played for many wedding receptions, composed music for games, wrote sheet music, and started up a few Youtube music channels. One of his main goals is to create music that has a specific melody and theme to it, something people can hum or sing to. His style is primarily instrumental and he works with many different genres, though his main ones are fantasy and world music.
