Derek Anthony Gray, also known as DAG, delivers a captivating fusion of pop rock, featuring inspirational lyrics that evoke hope, courage, and faith. Within his music, DAG masterfully encompasses the dichotomy of darkness and light, the intricacies of loss and love, and the contrasting emotions of despair and dance. Drawing from his own personal journey of overcoming addiction and homelessness, DAG infuses every song he writes with a powerful message—to never surrender, no matter how far you may stumble along the way. Taking inspiration from an eclectic mix of artists such as David Bowie, Phillip Glass, Brockhampton, Broadway Musicals, Daniel Hart, George Michael, and various gospel and Ga Ga influences (just to name a few), Derek not only writes and performs his songs, but also records, produces, and plays all of the instruments himself.
