BIOGRAPHY
Emerging R&B artist Derek Bailey has been playing music since the age of five. The East Chicago, IN-native has made his mark in the music scenes of Chicago, Denver and New York. Bailey has written and produced music for nationally renowned Gospel artist Euclid Gray (formerly of R&B group Public Announcement), as well as R&B songstress Felicia and gospel singer Carlis Moody.
As president of Fat Ace Entertainment, an independent label started by Bailey and his production team Playmakers; Bailey has been able to flex his production muscles. Now he is releasing his debut album titled the Escape. The soulful album features 16 songs produced by Bailey.
Bailey cites Howard Hewitt, Earth Wind and Fire, Stevie Wonder, New Edition and Take 6 as his major influences. An accomplished multi-instrumentalist (piano, guitar and trumpet), Bailey also finds inspiration in current artists such as Maxwell, R. Kelly and Musiq Soulchild. Like his trumpeter/producer hero Quincy Jones, Bailey strives to make a mark in the R&B music industry through innovation, creativity and a drive for excellence.
