DERICK SEBASTIAN

Maui, world renowned for both beautiful beaches and tropical climate, will soon become a place synonymous with an individual who has revolutionized a new sound in music from one of Hawaii’s most traditional instruments, the ukulele. Derick Sebastian, Maui’s small town ukulele virtuoso, has taken this once simple Hawaiian instrument and infused it with the sounds of Hawaiian, Reggae, Classical, Rock, Jazz, Blues, R&B, Gospel, Folk, Funk, and Latin, to produce a mixture of harmonies that can only be found here in the Hawaiian Islands.

In Hawaiian, the definition of the word “aloha” means love. Also known as, “Mr. Aloha”, Derick, for the past thirteen years, has taken his aloha and passion for music and transformed it into a utopia of musical bliss. Along with Derick’s talent and skills in playing and performing the ukulele, he is highly proficient in playing the guitar, bass, drums, and percussion instruments.

Not only is Derick known as a singer and songwriter, but he is also well-known around the island as a “standout performer” with “great stage presence” and “on-stage charisma”. While on stage, Derick radiates with sheer passion and exhilaration. Because of his vast skill and experience with performance, he is a popular musician and has performed and recorded with various recording artists from around Hawaii.

Currently, Derick is looking to continue creating a distinctive new sound with the ukulele, one that will bring Hawaii’s foremost instrument to audiences around the world. His progressive style of music will surely put this ambitious small town musician into a league of his own.

As producer, composer, and guitarist, Tommy Hopkins states, “Derick plays and sings with fire. His amazing facility and sheer virtuosity are only surpassed by his bondless heart and soul. He is incredibly entertaining to watch and listen to.” This statement is true testimony to what people around the world should be given the opportunity to experience for themselves. You are the first of many, and we hope that you enjoy the music as much as Derick enjoys it himself.
