Derek Sivers (NEW SONGS!)

About Me

Sometime back in 1998 I traded in my love for baseball for a love of a music. I didn’t intend to it just sort of happened. Somewhere in between the rehabilitation of a season ending knee-surgery I picked up an acoustic guitar, started to sing and I was never the same again. I finally quit the real world life of a 9-5 workday and the pressure of college degrees and took the dive into a career of music. I’m a 25 yr old singer-songwriter, musician, spending most of my nights in clubs, bars or coffeehouses strumming away on an acoustic 6 string. I mostly play covers but I always manage to throw my originals into the Mix. I’ve been in various bands in Binghamton, NY as well as Tampa, Fl. I currently play with a band called “Uncommon Ground.” You can catch us at HERE
Music is my Job and I spend 4-5 nights a week playing Live somewhere trying to gain an audience. My Goal isn't so much to be a rockstar, but to earn a decent living using my gift of music. Thank you for taking the time to listen to my Music and if you're in the Tampa Bay area please feel free to Check out a show You will not regret the music I promise!.
