Long Bio:

Forged from the darkest minerals, Derik Julien is a self-renewing artist and writer (Canada). He’s been described as a mythical creature choosing words that carry the energy of a philosopher. His work examines proportions out in society, inner worlds and light or tumultuous trials of the heart and mind.

Steady influenced by the east wind; a place where brevity and minimalism are encouraged. As a mystic and wayfarer, he’s on a never ending journey towards the muse. While cherishing life, he embraces the unconscious processing of ideas as they shape. Dexs’ artistry continues to evolve through fearless experimentation and notebook observations.

He’s collaborated on high-concept art with bucket list artists Skyzoo, Blu, Sa-Roc, eLZhi, sene, Cavalier, Hymphatic Thabs, R.A.P. Ferreira, drop, Nakama., Svnthltr, Rey Morado, the bum., Natasha Edwards, ShrapKnel (Curly Castro & PremRock), Supah Mpondo, Career Crooks (Zilla Rocca & Small Pro), Maiko Munroe, Imani Nichele, sleepingdogs (andrew & Jesse the Tree) Laxx P, Carla the Poet and harpist Emily Downes.

Let’s not forget to mention working with legendary producers DJ Manipulator, Kyo Itachi, August Fanon, Marleau, Sol Messiah, Kanif the Jhatmaster, Secondwav, Fanu, Nick Arcade, Fumitake Tamura and Spectre Tha ILL Saint. After 558 songs and 3 books, the literary world continues to inspire. Books 4&5 will be written at a patient pace’, slow burns in the space within silence.

"If I had his confidence, I would have already taken over the world by now" -FRANCE

"Lyrical artist spits with a charmingly semi-strained delivery; his breathy, world weary flow sounds like DITC filtered through WordSound and The Wu" -Cabbages

"Thoughtful, reflective, meditative, introspective, contemplative, grounded and engaged" -HHGA

“Elaborate, fantastical lyrical wordplay over cinematic production, for fans of sci-fi conceptual artists like Deltron 3030 and Dr. Octagon” -Trial & Error Collective
