Eli Derby

Eli Derby has already proven himself to be a powerful talent with a one-of-a-kind vision. Growing up in PG County, Maryland, the singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist started playing drums at the young age of two and immediately discovered a natural musicality. Hailing from a musical family, Eli got his start playing drums and singing in the church choir. At just eight years old, he picked up the piano and not long after the guitar which helped him hone in on his songwriting skills. This naturally lent Eli to be able to perform in any environment with the purest of emotion and rawness. Inspired by the classic 90s R&B sounds, Eli’s take on the ever progressing genre is one that is fresh and addictive. The young polymath signed to LVRN/Interscope Records in 2020 and released his debut single “Gaslight” which was praised by the likes of Billboard, Okayplayer, and who Hot New Hip Hop went on to say “sparks intrigue about his potential star power.”
