Cleveland, Ohio — August 17th, 2022 – Few artists can get audiences resonating with their craft, and amidst a collective of rising faces, Derricottie is one such R&B/Soul prodigy. With records such as “A Man Like Me” and “I Want You” earning International Billboard songwriting accolades, the seasoned song writer has already established himself as someone who delivers a passionate, raw, and profound experience with his storytelling prowess.

Effectively painting a real picture of first heartbreak, Derricottie gives each listener an emotional experience that embraces vulnerability and is real, poignant, and piercing in essence.
