Bonded by lessons in the music business DegreeZero oozes experience from all fronts. Growing up in a musician's family Derek aka DegreeZero has learned from the best.

"I remember I would set in class and listen to the lecture on the given topic of the day - I would always be thinking how this applied to the music business or better, how I could apply the principles I was learning to the biz."
Never one to set and wait for things to come to him, Derek ventured to Ohio one summer to gain insight into the essential skills of Music Production and Engineering.

To this date DegreeZero has produced two original artist EP's, licensed music for television and will continue to release dance mixes of original songs throughout the coming year.
