Derrick first began writing lyrics at the age of 13 after a family member gave him a used copy of Kool Moe Dee’s "How Ya Like Me Now" LP. Later he tested his skills (or lack thereof) in school hallways and neighborhood cipher sessions while living in West Covina California. Then after a sudden change of scenery Derrick found himself residing in the lower eastside of Houston Texas. There he developed his talent at house parties, night clubs and anywhere else he could find a crowd and a microphone.
After high school, Derrick joined forces with different crews at varies times in his development as an artist and a human being. Wanting to peruse a deeper direction in both music and life he took what he learned from each experience and began to write new songs as a soloist. Derrick hit the studio and released his first independent LP “No Retreat No Surrender”. He then returned with his sophomore indie release entitled “Stay Alert”. The underground buzz from these two projects gained him the ability to tour the U.S. and parts of Europe, performing in front of small and large crowds alike.
Currently in the studio working on new projects, Derrick draws creative influence from the music of Ben Harper and Stevie Ray Vaughn among others. Stylistically his music has been called a “John Mayer” meets “The Roots” sound, with lyrics that examine the human soul. Reflecting pain and sorrow as well as hope, faith, love and a strong infuses on his own journey of spiritual growth Derrick Fury is an artist that truly makes music for all people.
