Derik Rios on SoundBetter

I'm here to make your songs sound better in any way I can! Looking forward to start my network on soundbetter! Open to colabs and cowriting sessions!

I'm a Brazilian Producer and Songwriter that moved to Vancouver to study Audio Engineering and Music Production at SAE Institute Vancouver. I have a background writing, arranging and recording pop, electronic, country and alternative music, and I strong skills on arranging and mixing strings, vocals and harmonies.

Get in touch so we can work together on your songs! I can join you on the creative process and assist you editing, mixing and mastering your tracks.

I was born in Sao Paulo, Brazil and had my first experience with a guitar at school when I was 9. Since then, I never stopped studying, playing and last but not least, writing songs and improving my creative side when I started my first recordings with a pop rock band that I started in highschool.
After a whole life listening to country songs with my family, and 6 years studying Engineering and living in the countryside, I came back to Sao Paulo releasing 2 original country songs as a solo singer and 5 songs as songwriter on the following years. Back in my city, with a cowriter and friend of mine I also started playing again with the band and kept working on these two projects simultaneously until 2019 when I moved to Vancouver to go to SAE. I also had the chance and honor to write and produce the first oficial single released by my former band Nova Intro in March 2020.
