So when the winds of cange come blowing

 BERMUDA
RECORDING STUDIO
Derek Fields was born Jan. 29th 1960 to Stephen and Diana Fields on the island
of Barbados. His father was a founding member and guitarist of the
internationally famous MERRYMEN.
From the age of five Derek knew he wanted to create and
play music for the rest of his life. Derek taught himself the guitar and
piano out of a passionate love for music.
He was awarded first prize in
a national TV talent contest at age ten and as a teenager played for
pantomimes, local parties and weddings.
By age twenty, he had formed his
own pop-group playing many styles of music at home and abroad.
He later became lead vocalist with Ivory, the island's most popular band during
the 1980's, which recorded with PAUL MC CARTNEY on one of his visits to
Barbados.
He was later asked to compose the theme song for the
bicentennial celebrations of the Ursulines International, a Catholic
religious Order. He has been awarded a gold medal at the island's
National Independence Festival for the Creative Arts (NIFCA).
He chiefly performs the music of his heart at
home and in other islands of the Caribbean, but his musical talent has placed Barbados on the global stage. He
performed some of his original works on nation-wide Canadian television.
Derek is deeply honoured to be one of the winning composers in the Song For Peace Competition.
Derek, a devout Roman Catholic, is a prolific song-writer and composer.
His love for God has led him to create music that would inspire love and
goodness in the hearts of others. Derek currently works on the island
with his group TWO GUITARS, and is co-owner, writer and producer with
CRS Digital Recording Studio. He is the founder of Angel
Music, a Catholic recording label. He will soon release his first solo
album Child of God (Angel Music Label).
