Derek Lersch at Joyland

After learning how to play the piano and the guitar in high school, Derek Lersch started writing songs and performing some of his favorite songs. It wasn’t long before he booked his first show. Today with over 350 shows played, Derek’s favorite thing is still performing live. “There’s nothing better than a crowds energy and emotions. It’s truly what drives me.”

After graduation, Derek moved to Nashville to further his career in the Music Business. After spending a year in Nashville working at iHeartRadio, he moved back to Bradenton, FL in 2017 to continue working in the entertainment industry and continue his music dream.

This is where you can find him now pursuing his dreams, performing for crowds of all kinds and sizes. He’s currently working in the studio on his first EP. Stay tuned....
