We had Derek play for our Lunch & Live Music at the library during the summer and everyone LOVED the music and atmosphere he provided. He's on our list to call back for future parties that need some fun music and a good time! 10/10 would recommend!

Derek hosted BDG Architects New Year Kick-Off, a cocktail style party. He did an amazing job of curating a relevant set-list while keeping the music at a reasonable volume that fit the circumstances. He is a talented musician and look forward to booking him for any upcoming events. He showed up early, was quick with set-up and breakdown, and performed for 4 hours! If you are looking for a low maintenance, talented artist for an upcoming event, Derek is your guy!

Derek Stroker provided the musicalentertainment for my husbands 50th birthday party and made it an unforgettable evening! His idea of writing a custom song was brilliant. He worked with me through the entire process making sure that it was exactly what I was looking for. My husband said that he doesnt know how I will ever top that gift! He was completely surprised and felt so honored. Derek is clearly working in his passion because this was no ordinary booking. It was a unique personalized experience with his blood, sweat, and tears apparent through the entire process. Yes, he is incredibly talented and the crowd loved his music. But the thing that set him apart from other agencies where you book a musician was his drive, passion, and professionalism. He was so detailed that I never worried about how everything would turn out. He thought of questions to ask to make the evening perfect! I highly recommend him if you are looking for a professional to set your event apart and make it an extraordinary experience.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
There are no discounts offered at this time. The cost of live music for a corporate or private event can vary depending on the size of the event, the number of musicians or performers, and the type of music you would like to have. I will work with you to determine a budget that fits your needs and expectations.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Usually, customers initiate contact by sending Derek an email to kickstart the conversation. Following this, we'll arrange a brief call to discuss the specific details.
Afterward, Derek will provide you with a contract, and to secure the date, a 50% deposit will be required. Feel free to reach out with any questions or for follow-up calls once the date is confirmed.
The remaining balance will be due on the day of the performance.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
With over two decades of experience, Derek's professionalism and dedication are unmatched. He's not just an artist; he's a music industry expert.
