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.

With his relatable, moving, and soulful upcoming debut release, “Wells Run Dry”, the creative genius presents soulful vocals, set against honest and vulnerable lyricism. 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.

Listeners are bound to feel the pain, vulnerability, and intensity of emotions that Derricottie has woven within his music and can easily visualize what the artist is singing about through stellar songwriting.

With his charismatic and heartfelt musical compositions, empowered by background vocals that are calming and relaxing, Derricottie showcases music which stems from a real place and from real life experiences.

“This song was motivated by my first heartbreak, and the need to release the negative energy of anger, frustration and disappointment through music; which has been a positive, therapeutic form of release for me,” says the artist regarding his new record.

The gifted artist hopes that his upcoming song will be an encouragement to people who have had their heart broken, by simply letting them know they are not alone.
