originality, creativity and a soulful approach, Derek
Stroker's music hits the bull's-eye! With songs
flowing from the heart and soul, Derek captures your
imagination with songs ranging from blues to rock and everything in between.
Singer/songwriter Derek
Stroker's goal is not to become rich and famous, instead his
passion and heart's ambition is to make timeless music that
anyone can relate to. You have
to like that! He draws
inspiration from the expressive nature of both today's
music, as well as music from the 60's and 70s. Plus,
he is an accomplished song-crafter; as a BMI
certified songwriter he has penned over 60 copy-written
songs and has independently produced his Acoustic EP and
the newest album Take a Picture, Make a Promise. As a
songwriter, his tunes have been compared to musicians such
as John Mayer, Marc Broussard, and Dave Barnes. As an
artist, his style parallels legends such as Eric Clapton and
John Lennon.
"Take a
deep breath, and let it out slow
Close
your eyes, get ready to go
Let your
mind do the walking..."
- Derek
Stroker (Story)
Derek communicates a
sense of sincerity, warmth and authenticity through his
soulful approach to pop/rock music. Derek explains why he’s
spreading a message of love through music very simply,
“There is nothing more important than love.” Love is the
message and music is the language.
Derek’s
original sound has a strong connection with Rhythm and
Blues. Eric Clapton has been a great influence on the young
artist. “In my eyes, Eric Clapton has shaped today’s guitar
player. I still remember the first time I heard Layla. That
riff is the reason I started playing!” Derek explains.
"Derek Stroker hits you square in the chest with a
powerful guitar rhythm and great vocal
...".
