From a young age, Derek showed a keen interest in music and began playing the piano at the age of four. He quickly showed a natural talent for the instrument and began taking lessons with his mother. As Derek grew older, he became more and more passionate about classical music. He began attending concerts and recitals, and soon started to dream of becoming a professional musician himself. He continued to study the piano, and also began to learn other instruments, including the violin and the cello.
