Getting to know music artist IamDerby
Nice to meet you! Tell us about you: My name is IamDerby and I am from Portsmouth, Virginia. I have more than just a love for music. I’m IN LOVE with music. It started as an outlet for myself that helped me interpret and express things that I battled with alone mentally. In more recent times you can hear my music being more fun, uplifting, and encouraging to the listening audience. The drum set was my first love in the whole music scene before anything else. I’ve been a Church drummer for half my life playing in many different places for many different people. The way I see people feel my beat and how their moods change does something great in my spirit and it’s a feeling that can’t really be explained. I really just love being able to connect positively with people on a massive level.

Getting to know music artist Daniel Arana
What’s your artist name and where are you from? I'm Daniel Arana, and I'm from Miami. Why do you love music? I love music because it inspires me, moves me, and heals me. One of my main motivations for going into music is to help others heal emotionally. Music has that power by transmitting information melodically and verbally. It's a universal language. In a world where there's so much suffering, music is one of the best ways to relieve stress, soothe the mind, and nurture our hearts.
