Pro Vocalist + Producer

Derek is great, quick turnaround and a great ear for parts.

Working with Derek has been a fantastic experience. His professional sound and remarkable turnaround time have consistently exceeded my expectations. Not only does he deliver exactly what's needed under tight timelines, but he also communicates clearly and is incredibly easy to collaborate with. His talent as a remote vocalist brought an essential touch to several of our projects, elevating each piece. I look forward to more opportunities to work together. — Lorne Balfe, Composer (Mission Impossible, Top Gun:Maverick)

The best. You won’t find a more talented vocalist (and overall creative human) than Derek. I’ve been able to work with Derek numerous times on a range of projects, and witnessed firsthand the excellence and hard work that he brings to the table. Do yourself a favor and hire this man!

I’m a composer for film and television and have relied for years on Derek’s voice to bring pieces to life. His deliveries are always fast, pristine, and easy to work with. I can count on him understanding the brief and adapting to any challenge I’ll throw (such as singing in a made up language). Highly recommend.

Derek has so much versatility as a singer, you could truly count on him for just about anything. Great vocal control. Range. And an artistic sensibility to give the music what it needs. Highly recommend.

Derek is an amazing vocalist who puts effort and heart into every project. I came to him with a hard to pull off project and a short deadline. He gave me exactly what I needed regardless. Hire Derek!!

Every time I get the pleasure of working with Derek, he is prepared, easy going, and he always has a great attitude. Derek is a phenomenal vocalist and an even better person.

I’ve gotten to work personally with Derek on multiple gigs and recordings! He is a joy to work with and the final product is top notch. You want to work with Derek because he is a knowledgeable, friendly, and talented musician and singer!

Derek is definitely one of the good ones.

I've had the pleasure of working with him on multiple projects spanning a decade, and every time I'm blown away by his creativity, vision, and attention to detail. As a producer and as a vocalist he always brings his best to the table and elevates everyone in the room. I'm a better songwriter and creative because of him, and I couldn't recommend him more!

I COULD NOT RECOMMEND CREATING WITH DEREK HUGHES MORE!!!! He is an ABSOLUTE POWERHOUSE of talent and drive. Creating the score for my film 'From My Eyes', top to bottom, was one of the greatest creating experiences of my life. Derek went over and above for me and my team to create not only an INCREDIBLE original score but also the best creative environment and collaborative experience. I'm forever in debt to this man. Thank you Derek for everything you've done and continue to do for this incredible industry!!!

God Bless and Live A Life Worth Filming
