Episode 30 - Walkney (Derek Mrdjenovich)

Talkin' with Andrew & Chris

Welcome to the 30th episode of "Talkin' with Andrew and Chris". We are very happy to introduce you to today's guest Derek Mrdjenovich, of the band "Walkney"! After appearing briefly on American Idol and landing a spot on NOW 66 with his single “Lucia Rose”. Pennsylvania singer/songwriter Walkney is releasing his long awaited breakout debut. Produced by Michael O’Malley (Pittsburgh, PA), the EP features Walkney’s most soulful songs to date. With dancy anthems like "Unhappy", Walkney implements classic elements like brass and strings taking a sure footed but small step into the world of pop. No stranger to heartbreak, Walkney lyrics are like an open journal to love lost. The third track on the EP, "Lady", represents the push and pull of being in a less than healthy relationship. This song really embodies the theme of the record, which is being completely powerless in addressing an oncoming problem. "Wah" gives us a look at the gritty and darker side of Walkney. Since 2016, Walkney has spent ample time on stage. After landing a Spirit Airlines sponsorship (Music4Miles), Walkney toured in the US/Canada, and has plans to expand his international horizons. "After three years of writing and recording for what would be my first solo release, there’s nothing better than being able to give people a small representation of what I’m capable of. These songs are only the tip of the iceberg, the first step... the beginning.” - Derek of Walkney.
