   About Derren Raser










2008 Hollywood Music Award Winner

Finalist in the 12th Annual
Unisong International Songwriting Contest

One of Music Connection Magazine's
"Top Indie Artists of the Year"

Honors in the 2007
John Lennon Songwriting Contest

An old soul in a new age, Derren Raser stands out from the monotonous fray of popular music. Witty, well-spoken and wise beyond his 20-something years, singer-songwriter Raser will move you with his thoughtful lyrics and haunting melodies. His ballads are old-fashioned folk stories and beautiful tributes to love lost and found.

A prolific songwriter, Derren combines lively folk-rock and classic singer-songwriter traditions with the hard edge of contemporary pop and rock influences, he has honed a cutting edge sound that is immediately both fresh and familiar. His music has been described as "Simon and Garfunkel meets the Shins." It is music that sounds equally at home on an old dusty hi-fi or in a sleek new iPod.

A unique and abundant talent, Derren will continue to share the stage with greats like Ben Taylor, Sonya Kitchell, Hem, Ollabelle, Garrison Starr, Arnold McCuller, Richie Cannata and more.

Thanks for finding us on MySpace. Thanks also, and probably more importantly, for keeping music alive and real.

Darren, You were one of my first MySpace friends over 3 years ago. It's been great watching your music develop. You're on the right track. But I got to tell you that Streets Of London is still one of my favorite songs.
