Derek DeMuth:

It’s my goal to put as much emotion and what you might call character and magic into each of my songs. My music has dragons in it, fairies and elves, creatures from the bottom of the sea, from other planets, my music is from a place that I know well yet can only remember faint traces of.” I want people to connect when they hear it. Connect to the music, to the far-out parts of themselves, to other people, to the world. That’s what good music does, it makes you stop for a minute or two and go ‘wait, what’s all this about.’ Music is such an integral part of who I am that I can’t imagine life without composing and performing.
