What are you doing to kick off 2021 with your music?

Well, I have my newest single “Island Girl” that’s dropping February 1st and I’ll be back in the studio again in April laying down some new stuff! I’m really looking forward to it. 

What is the main focus for your career?

To make music that reaches people on a personal and emotional level and to live out a dream that I’ve had since I was a kid. I feel like if I can do that, then everything will fall into place the way it should. 

Do you believe in quantity or quality when it comes to making sure to stay on top of your music?

Quality is the most important to me. I won’t ever release something that I’m not happy with. I would rather have one good song than 10 bad ones. 

Who or what is inspiring you to work harder than ever? 

The idea of living with regret is what keeps me working hard. I’ve had the dream to be able to have my voice heard for a very long time and I finally got the chance to try and live that out… I’m certainly not gonna take that for granted. 

Tell us where we can listen to your latest release and stay social with you!

You can find my latest release “Island Girl” on February 1st on Spotify and all other streaming platforms. If you’d like to follow me on social media, you can find me on IG and TikTok @derek_skelton and on Twitter @DerekSkelton7.
