Derek Womack

Derek Womack is a singer, songwriter, producer, and musician who has had a passion for music since he was a little boy.  Passion might be an understatement, as the art of performing has become his lifestyle; a lifestyle that defines who he is and who he wants to be.

Born and raised in Tampa, FL, Derek started performing at the young age of three in his living room.  As most music artists, Derek loved Michael Jackson and at age three he was able to watch his tour and reenact the entire performance for his family and friends.  This is just the beginning of what you would see from this talented performer.  By age 14, Derek was writing his own songs, playing the bass, drums, and singing back up for his mother Belinda Womack.  He had a desire to share his talents with anyone who would listen.

Being a songwriter, Derek writes about his life experiences.  He never writes about what he does not know, and I believe that is why people enjoy his music.  He has always had a way with words and would write songs all day if he could.  He has had many opportunities to take his talent to the next level, but the one thing Derek will not compromise is his integrity.  It is very important to him that he shares his music, because he feels it is real and represents him as the person he is.  Most record companies want to make you into a product, but Derek has spent the years of his life creating his own product, and feels no one can make him better then he can make himself.  He feels that same way when producing or songwriting for other artists.  He will always give you his full effort, give you the best product he can, and will not rest until it is done.  Derek has produced and recorded many songs from artists in the Tampa Bay area, and they know they will get nothing but the best when it comes to Derek Womack.

Derek has always been in charge of his product.  Derek is not just another artist trying to make it; he is running a business that encompasses many assets.  He writes his own music, he produces all of his songs, he has his own recording studio, and on most of his tracks he can play every instrument needed to create the song.  He self promotes and chooses what, when, where, and who he wants to perform for.  He believes his talents are a gift from God, so he uses them wisely.

Over the years, Derek has performed in the Montreux Jazz Festival in Montreux Switzerland, The Rock and the Rabbi, The Child, Men of Note, various Jazz festivals, The Hard Rock, Blue Martini, plays drums in many bands in the Tampa Bay area, various shows at Busch Gardens and many more.  Derek is infections.  His smooth sound and outstanding range is a rare find.  When he is on stage he draws you in with his stamina filled stage presence, and you keep watching wondering what he is going to do next.  Derek Womack is destined for greatness, and with his humble attitude, inviting presence, and unlimited talents, he will have no problem getting there.  

Derek can be seen at Busch Gardens Tampa Bay, Timpanos in Hyde Park every Friday evening, and many other events.  For more information on Derek Womack or for hiring contact him at womackmusic@yahoo.com.
