From Best Buy to Hot Writes with Deraj

Published: Jan. 26, 2021, 12:47 a.m.

Deraj is an Orlando-based indie hip hop artist for TV, film and trailers. His music has been placed on many media projects including Call of Duty, Lionsgate and Amazon. He's also the co-founder of CTRL Camp on the Clubhouse app.

In this episode, Deraj and I talk about his fascinating artist name origin, and his journey as a writer from the very start of his career. I had no idea he is such a jack-of-all trades talent, and his skills in the visual arts have fed directly into both his music career arc AND how he writes/brands himself. Another gem... Deraj shares with us how he doesn't overthink when he writes songs, and trusts his instincts. We also discuss the Clubhouse app, and how CTRL Camp (ctrlcamp.com) has started to take off as an amazing resource for the artist community. Enjoy this interview, and until next time, let your best writing shine through!
