Talented artist Deron Daum was born and raised in Las Vegas, Nevada, he learned piano at age 6 and started writing songs at 14. He played live in many bands around Vegas before moving to Seattle, WA in 1997 and forming Bendt. Bendt put out one album, including the single “She Feels” which was #1 on MP3.com’s Adult Alternative chart for 6 weeks. Daum worked at Microsoft as an Engineering Manager for 23 years while he continued to write and produce songs. He started MagicMix Studio in 2007 and has mixed songs for hundreds of artists around the world. In 2020 he quit Microsoft to focus full-time on music. He released his first solo album “Too Much Music In Me” in February 2021 and the single “Login:” in August 2022. Daum’s early influences were the progressive rock artists of the 70s such as Rush and Yes. As a keyboard player, new-wave artists such as New Order and The Cure swayed his musical style. The bass became his new infatuation and slowly became a featured instrument in his compositions. Daum’s current music infuses the craft of prog rock with the suburban sensibilities of new-wave and adds just a touch of Seattle grunge. These ingredients blend perfectly with the vintage-inspired sounds of today’s indie music. Daum’s music hits you sounding simultaneously unique yet familiar. Deron is a self-proclaimed Nerd who is more likely to be found watching movies at home than out at a club. He is an avid hiker and an Avid Pro Tools user. He is a J.R.R. Tolkien fan and incorporates themes from Tolkien into several of his songs. His lyrics are often dark in contrast to the upbeat music. Themes such as despair, death, or loneliness are prevalent, and even his “happy” songs are tinged with irony and dark humor. With the release of his newest single “Can’t Get Over You,” he projects a sensational sound that will certainly intrigue your attention. Starting with sparkling instrumentation leading onto his bright and smooth vocals he completes the song fully. Explaining the track a bit further it’s about being in a relationship and things not working out, you feel sad and can’t get over this special person. To the vocals and production, this single will surely have you vibing and possibly relating to the lyrics. It would be just great for a late-night drive or alone within your thoughts. Go stream “Can’t Get Over You” and be on the lookout for new music from this outstanding act.
