Derek Virgo

Hi. My name is Derek Virgo.

Welcome to a music therapy, recovery and exploratory journey that will hopefully take me the rest of my life.  

I played a little bit of guitar when I was younger but hadn't really played since high school. 

After a traumatic experience in March 2022- I quickly found myself facing a strange, but encouraging feeling that music might be able to really help me... both as a distraction from pain and discomfort, and, if I was lucky, perhaps a new pursuit to be passionate about. A replacement of sorts for another one that I was going to be walking away from. I was lucky to be walking at all.

So, I'm learning and exploring some music here... making some of my own- and trying my best to create some covers or my own "stripped down" renditions of songs I've always loved. 

Thanks for checking it out. 

Be kind. Love hard.
