This weeks Artist is

An up and coming artist, Derek L. Butler. He is a singer songwriter from Los Angeles, Ca.

I found him one day in the end of June, when I was watching different music covers and videos on YouTube. The first video I saw of him was this one 

Derek covering Michael Buble - You know how I feel.

I like the song and I thought that he sang it greate!

So I went further down His YouTube Page and listened to a coupe of his other cover and they are really good!

"I love the feeling i get when I hear someone that can really, really sing."

A couple of days later I followed him on twitter, and he followed me back :-)

The fun part of it all is that it turned out that he actually was one of the background singers on Justin Bieber's promo tour, and was in Oslo!

And he made this "Thank you Norway song",

And while I was in Cyprus, he posted on Twitter that the first person that sent him the lyric to the song to his fan-mail would get a "shootout" so I sat in the couch in Pafos next to Jane, she didn't understand what I was doing when I listened to the song twice, wrote the lyrics down and sang it. And then sent it, I didn't even listen to it once!

Then a couple of days later he wrote this on twitter to me,

"Oh how I laugh! "

His twitter name is @dereklbutler so follow him if you like his stuff , like I do :-)

I think it was later that day when Derek and his friend Dubri was on Ustreem and shared a pice of their new single together, a type of cover of Payphone by Maroon 5 with Wiz Khalifa.

I think that version is so good! "Haha, love that song!"

One of the things that is so cool about him is that he is on his way up and he is so down to earth. And he has this project called #DreamCatchers where he wants to help people and their dreams, its great!
 I have talked with him a bit now and he is so nice, it's going to be so much fun to hang out when he comes to Oslo next spring!
