Derek Vincent Smith aka Pretty Lights, received his first ever Grammy-nomination about a month ago for his artist album ‘A Color Map of the Sun‘. The album builds on the pioneering song styles of Smith as he emulates genres and time periods through his musical gestures through the album. Using a system of vinyl to analog modular synth to final digital sound, ACMOTS, has truly been a remarkable music making process! If that was not enough, Derek’s policy of distributing most of his music for free, breaking free from the clutches of commercialization or adulteration of his sound has further made him a fan favourite as he relishes a humbling social following of more than a million!
