Derrick Damions

Derrick is an artist at heart and by the end of university he'd won a string of citations in writing, design, architecture, singing and acting. Educated at Yale, Georgetown, The Shakespeare Theatre Company, UCB, ComedySportz, PIT, The Second City & The National Theater Institute, led to performing on stage at The Kennedy Center, prime time TV, soaps, Off Broadway, major hit films and starring in many Indie films. Unable to act from accidents left him healing, working in investment banks. After a life-changing event he re-launched his acting career in 2014, starred in 9 indie/feature films (turned down 3 films) and had a blast doing an Off-Broadway play. As a singer-songwriter his songs have won 3 national Billboard Awards. He's also volunteered as a Certified Red Cross Medic & disaster relief, walked on fire.... He knows authentic artist reflect what we know, will know and don't want to know in ourselves and society. "Eyes that speak" Patsy Rodenburg; "Smoldering intensity" Maggie Low; "Angelic devil" Helga Bullock; "Damions doesn't even need to talk on screen" Tim Phillips, "Damions, his deep eyes speak a sexy mix of vulnerability that also can leak danger at the drop of a hat", NY Times. What I've learned so far: Words are tiny mirrors ever reflecting the heart of the speaker + Acceptance is smarter than resistance, it's the shortest road to peace + Acting - singing are 2 sides of the same coin, for both use the voice-body to convey story, which is the connective fabric of humanity + Art is the transfer of emotion to another + Worthy story can be an agent of our culture, which fuels are evolution.
