Dereos Roads is an alternative hip-hop musician and songwriter navigating some of the same roads you are.
Based out of the Pittsburgh area, he’s a 20 year veteran, formerly known as Proseed, who’s shared the stage with acts such as Tech N9ne, Aesop Rock, Mr. Lif, Fat Lip, Blueprint and a host of other legendary indie hip-hop acts. He is also co-founder of the indie hip-hop label Surface Level Records and host of three live event series: Amongst the Crates, Smash the Sound Barrier and Smash the Canvaz.
An artist fascinated by the creative process, he regularly looks for new ways to tap into creative planes. At the same time, he keeps Nick Cave’s approach in mind, not “waiting on the vagaries of inspiration.” He goes to work. He creates something. Sometimes that process is difficult, but when a spark is lit, it’s worth it in the end. The outcome is a cinematic, new age and neo-noir color palette in sound.
Enjoy the experience.
