Derek Lochner

Derek spent most of his childhood on a farm, living countryside in Iowa before moving to the suburbs of eastern Iowa in his early teens to be raised by his single mom with 3 other siblings. Unintentionally, Derek and his siblings found themselves on television and radio frequently, being interviewed by local news stations during several popular social events throughout the years and as witnesses to a devastating fire to an apartment complex near their home. Derek and his brother eventually found a passion for music and found themselves working with other well known musicians. They once again found themselves on the radio for their music. Though Derek was home schooled through his childhood, in high school he became a performer through the thespian and speech programs.
