Going LIVE! Need your help.
Hey guy’s first off thank you so so much for the support lately i couldn’t do this without you! Last week i asked on Facebook where you’d like to see me play and well
I received a tremendous response from people interested in having me come to their area and perform. Thanks for the love! The states of GA, FL, TN, TX, IN, CA, and OR had the biggest response, and here’s where I need your help… If you have connections at any club or venues that I could play at, or want to have a private party, please let me know! If you’re able to do this, we can even cut you in on the $. Price? All depends on travel and time, but it’s flexible while dates are open. I’ll be in Atlanta on 8/28 and Jacksonville 9/11. I’ll be playing an acoustic set and traveling with a special guest and incredible lead guitar player, David Samuel. Looking forward to sharing my music with you live soon! Please email booking@multisoundent.com if you’re able to help!
Well the 4th was yesterday had a good time with the whole family bbq’n, had our wiffle ball home run derby (My brother won by 1, lucky ass). Watched the fireworks did some fireworks drank a little all in all it was a fun night.
Earlier in the day i did a video of a great 4th song by Shooter Jennings called 4th of July. This song took me back. I used to listen to this album over and over it really is a great album. The album is called “Put to O back in country” so if you havn’t heard it i highly recommend it!
Reminded by a fan
I received something today that reminded me what my purpose for this music is. Sure it’s a way to express myself, and for people close to me that really know me they know i’m not one for talking or communicating on a regular basis. I tend to hold things in and then let it all out on paper or should i say type it out.Anyway the comment i got today made me realize i do it for others as well. For people who are experiencing situations i have experienced. To help them through it. To give them a peace of mind knowing they are not the only one’s that have or are going through whatever it is they are going through. So i thank the person who left me that comment for this reminder, Thank you.
I gotta admit i am proud of myself for the way this one turned out. Believe me rapping isn’t too difficult but it’s a whole new level when you add passion to it. And that’s the only way to capture an Eminem song. And yes this is “Bad meets evil” but i tagged it Eminem ft Bruno Mars because that is what people will know it as and search for. Hope you enjoy this as much as i did covering it. I really like the song and the album Bad meets Evil is insane go take a listen and just listen to the lyrics these two rappers are phenomenal!
Update!
Hello everyone I hope you all had a good fathers day yesterday. I myself had a day of miniature golf and bowling with my little girl and then a fancy dinner at ihop :) Anyway i would just like to give you all a quick update on everything so here goes.
- Studio album Many of you may know already but many may not. I have been working on a studio “country” album with a producer in Nashville his name is Jimmy Dulin he’s worked with artists like Jaron he had a hit im sure you’ve heard “I pray for you”. Anyway we have a one song left to cut and the plan is to be finished by July 1st. So hopefully release date won’t be much further maybe early Aug!
- Acoustic ep Last friday i posted a new song called Queen of breaking hearts. I’ve been getting a lot of messages from you guy’s wondering where you can download it. So i wanna let you know that this song will be available on itunes soon sometime in July maybe even in a few weeks. It will be on a 5 song Acoustic ep. So look out for that.
- Covers The cover songs you hear from now on will be available on itunes. Pretty soon none of my covers will be available on my site anymore. (I don’t wanna get in trouble)You should expect the first release “Covers. Collection 1” in the next week or so. The albums will consist of mostly new covers im doing as well as some old ones i havn’t put up for download yet.

Monday’s video: Queen of breaking hearts - Derek Cate Original.
Lyrics:
Queen of breaking hearts
(c) 2011 Derek Cate
I wont waste no more time
chasing what i already know
it’s alright ill be fine
just like the songs i sang before
i won’t leave not this time baby you can go
now you’re free to think your taking the high road
If you thought that i would leave by now
give up cause you got me down
feeling sorry for myself well your wrong
don’t care what you want darlen
ive been waiting so long
to catch you off guard
yea this ones for you
to the queen of breaking hearts
you can talk all your shit
even your friends know what you are
yea somethings you don’t get
being you must be hard
oh the truth hurts tell me baby how’s it taste?
not to good im judging from the look on your face
Rap:
you see i was blind
hypnotized by a love i thought was true
so i tried to reconcile
till i got burnt out on you
so disastrous now i won’t have this
go party till the break of dawn
ya selfish so wreck less
give me back that diamond neck less
pretend that im wrong go head carry on
with wicked ways
now shoulda i known better but still i stayed
no don’te regret her cause i learn life lessons through all the pain
it’s come time for a change you and i don’t mix
ain’t no reason to blame cause you know you caused this
call it love but you u ripped it apart
why you think they call you the queen of breaking hearts?
