Filipino-born artist, Derik Madrid, is one of Sydney’s latest emerging powerhouse vocalists within the pop universe. Merely a musical chameleon with the ability to harmonise production and songwriting across disco, electronica, and R&B alike. It’s no surprise why many musicians have set their intrigue on the rising talent. Growing up around a family of singers, Derik was handed the microphone at just 5 years old, performing and writing music throughout his childhood and teens. With a vocal style comparable to The Weeknd and Sam Smith, the young star is making it clear his artistry in pop music is one to pay attention to.
