Derek Bahr is a multi-talented musician, artist, and songwriter. He spent the last decade as a road musician for artists such as Jon Pardi, Jordan Davis, Ryan Hurd, Cassadee Pope, Rodney Atkins, and more. Though he has been writing songs for years, when gigs shut down in 2020 due to the pandemic, Bahr took intentional time to write, record, and produce his debut EP, Collecting Dust. On the heels of its release, Bahr signed a publishing, management, and record deal with Creative Nation in 2021.

Bahr currently splits his time between writing for others, touring, and writing/producing his own music. He released his self-produced, debut, full-length album, Half Circles, in 2023, in addition to his newest EP, Dreamless Sleep, in 2024.
