Derrick Hodge is one of contemporary music’s most complete and complex artists. Driven by a passion for music rather than genre, he is defined only by his multiplicity. Lauded as a composer and revered as one of the great bassists and musicians of his generation, Hodge’s solo projects-Live Today (2013), The Second (2016), and Color of Noize (2020)-have been met with acclaim from critics and audiences alike. His albums are rich, raw and revelatory, reflecting his breadth of musicality and influence; from roots in the church, to an undercurrent of hip-hop, neo soul and eternal reverence for melody and classical composition. Like the artist, Hodge’s music is defined only by its multiplicity .
