Deric — born Drelyn Walker — is an Atlanta-based recording artist and songwriter known for his fusion of R&B, melodic rap, and emotional storytelling. With a voice often compared to Don Toliver, Chris Brown, and PnB Rock, Deric brings a cinematic, soulful energy to every record — polished enough for radio, raw enough to feel personal.
His music lives at the intersection of real emotion and mainstream sound. From heartfelt rap verses to smooth R&B hooks, every song carries a feeling that's hard to fake — because it isn't. Deric writes from life, channels it into melody, and delivers it with the kind of vocal control that only comes from years of dedication.
Across his catalog — including the Mood Swings & Melodies series — Deric has stacked over 20 million streams independently, earned editorial playlist placements on Spotify and Apple Music including Fresh Finds, and collaborated with artists and producers at the top of the game.
