Since his debut album Vertigo, Derik Fein has amassed over 300 million streams worldwide. His 2020 hit single Don’t Matter topped streaming charts, and in 2022 his music was featured on NBC’s The Voice and in the Lionsgate film My Fake Boyfriend.
Derik’s sound cannot be contained by pop alone. His unique blend of alternative, indie rock, garage rock, pop rock, psychedelic rock, lo-fi, and soul is undeniable—drawing inspiration from 2000s acts like The Strokes, Arctic Monkeys, The Neighbourhood, The Black Keys, as well as artists such as Amy Winehouse and Lana Del Rey. The result is a nostalgic yet modern sound that resonates deeply with fans.
In 2023, he launched his second album cycle with the singles Gaslight, Expensive, and Road to Nowhere, followed by his sophomore album Therapy in March 2024. By December, his viral single Sun dominated the charts. He later released his third studio album Antidote, featuring the hit single 1991. Derik is currently working on his next studio album, continuing to push creative boundaries.
Beyond the music, Derik is a passionate advocate for independent artists—championing creative freedom and educating his peers on the importance of music ownership.
