Virginia To Vegas
Virginia To Vegas is Derik Baker, the 24-year old wunderkind hailing from small-town Ontario. Raised on his parents’ record collection and cutting his teeth writing songs for a variety of pop artists, the Toronto-based singer and songwriter was discovered on YouTube by Canadian Indie label Wax Records in 2013. Upon the release of his debut single We Are Stars ft. Alyssa Reid in January of 2014, Derik’s music instantly connected with Canadian radio listeners, racing up the charts into the Top 5 in a mere 8 weeks.
In support of the hit single, Virginia to Vegas has performed with pop singer Alyssa Reid on the Hedley Wild Live tour, appearing at 24 stadium dates across Canada in February and March. “This year so far has just been absolutely crazy,” admits the multi-instrumentalist. “To see a room full of kids singing along to (We Are Stars) every night, it's a dream come true for sure.”
Virginia To Vegas is currently finishing his debut album, set for release this summer from Wax Records and Universal Records – keep your eyes on this rising star in 2014! Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
