Taking inspirations from her memories, people’s lives, histories and stories from our collective consciousness. She writes and co-produces sonic narrative anthologies to engage listeners in a transcendent experience - intended to be listened to like a novel.
dery is grounded in her identity. she is a force of expression all on her own; using music composition as her tool to explore complexities of sound. songwriting allows dery to unearth layers of meaning that reflect the world around her instead of solely focusing on her own experience. her sound creates a transfixing auditory environment for the listener, exploring concepts on an intimate and global spectrum. dery challenges music industry norms by focusing on composition rather than composer. she releases her work for those moments when we turn to music to feel less alone. for dery it does not matter what you look like, who you are, or where you come from - it is her belief that we all share the same emotions despite our differences and experience similar hardships no matter who we are.
As she explains about the single: “This song portrays the bittersweet reflection on a past relationship with gratitude. The protagonist acknowledges there were intolerable aspects but also credits their partner with making them a better person. Admitting that there might be a better match for their ex-partner; the protagonist reminisces on the sparkle they first experienced and how their goodbye is still painful. Despite the heartache, they sincerely wish for their ex’s happiness and success - hoping that they thrive beyond mere contentment."
