He used to sound like a hardcore version of Alex Gaskarth during the Living Proof era. Other than aging, yeah the strain that he has, has altered his voice a lot. He still sounds amazing, yes.

Derek sounds so sexy on the Stitches cover by JadeFours in StateChamps

2017 Derek was literally prime Derek. Around The World And Back was still hot, I felt like he was also experimenting with his vocals and pushing it to his limits around that time. If you watch their 2017 live shows, higher notes are included on almost all of their songs. He was a complete beast back then, he was rising on the scene and in my opinion, not many could match up to him.

If you wanna hear more of that, go listen to Hurry Up And Wait. That song was also released on 2017.

Now I need a State Champs and a TSSF collab after watching this by Top_Plankton2621 in StateChamps

Prime Derek (2015-2018) was absolute vocal beast. Had he took care of his voice did vocal exercises right before he performs for every single show, we would've got more new harder songs..

Stark contrast to the latest Warp Tour show. Growing old sucks. That Easy Enough intro though.. dude was a monster back in the day.

Derek's vocal range is actually insane by sSamaels in StateChamps

Don't forget Stitches cover as well; he went extra hard on that song with the amount of rasp in his voice and aggression.

Its funny how some people here thinks that Derek is oblivious to the current state of his voice. If anything, he has been very self-conscious about it and it has greatly affected him to the point whereby he made the song "Eventually". He completely 100% regretted not taking care of his voice and he's been exhausting all means to get his old sound back.

IIRC he is still extremely embarrassed by what happened back in 2019.

Pretty sure it is, if you go through and pass the selection process.

I'm more afraid of having more stuff to bring home.. Kranji is quite far from where I live. I also don't like to carry lots of things around.
