About Me

Producer/songwriter/musician Derek Brown (D.Roc) is anything but regular.He was born with a gift for making music and has been doing so for as long as he can remember. Coupled with his undefeatable drive and extraordinary persona, Derek creates music that’s both innovative and fresh.At the age of 6 Derek began experimenting with different aspects of music while playing the trumpet in school bands. By 12 he learned to play piano by teaching himself songs while listening to the radio. When Derek was 16 he started playing the organ in church and was soon leading services alongside musicians from all over New Jersey.Recognizing the value of the exposure he had with such talented artists, Derek took every opportunity to be mentored by them. He ultimately learned about various types of sounds and a wide variety of genres. Even today, he calls upon the lessons he learned to create timeless music, equipped to inspire even the most seasoned artists.Derek Brown and the word “timeless” are virtually synonymous. By definition timeless means “without beginning or end.” In an era where musicianship and originality are distant seconds to a catchy hook or a hot track, it’s hard to find that timeless sound in today’s music. Until now.With his God given musical talents Derek is relentlessly driven to lead the movement that resurrects the creation of timeless music. Usually, it’s his comforting aura and simplistic, sensible approach to producing that extends that inspiration to everyone who works with him.His X factor will draw out the best in anyone but only those with a shared vision and true love for artistic expression are the people and artists he collaborates with. When the goal is less about money and more about changing the world through music, the talent pool naturally narrows itself and allows true stars to shine.It’s the light from these stars that Derek will help shine infinitely.
