DERRIEN

Derrien blends the smooth melodies of indie pop with the raw energy of alternative hip-hop, creating music that captures the highs and lows of love, self-discovery, and the in-between moments of heartbreak. Drawing inspiration from artists like Dominic Fike, Steve Lacy, and Childish Gambino, he turns personal experiences into songs that resonate with listeners on a deeper level.

His breakout single, “Practice”—a hip-hop-driven track—has garnered 12,739 streams, showcasing his lyrical versatility and rhythmic flow. Following the release of “Find a Way to Be Happy” (5,432 streams), Derrien has leaned further into his indie pop influences, refining a sound that balances heartfelt storytelling with infectious melodies. His passion for music extends beyond the studio, as seen in his self-made festival, GoodForTheSoul, which brought together over 300 attendees, highlighting his dedication to building a genuine community through music.

At the core of Derrien’s artistry is a powerful message: breakups aren’t just endings—they’re a chance to rediscover yourself. Through his evolving sound, he invites listeners to embrace the journey, finding clarity and connection in the moments of uncertainty.
