Virginia To Vegas

Virginia to Vegas is the project of Canadian singer, songwriter, and producer Derik Baker. A Juno-nominated, SOCAN Award-winning songwriter and multi-platinum artist, he’s known for crafting songs that feel personal, while also sounding like the soundtrack to your life’s movie. It all started in a bedroom with a guitar, a laptop, and a lot of late-night thoughts. Since then, his music has taken him across the world, from festival stages to millions of headphones and playlists. His breakout hit “We Are Stars” opened the door, but it’s the honesty in his lyrics and the emotional pull of his melodies that keep people coming back. He writes and produces his music himself, always chasing moments that feel lived-in, like something you’ve felt before but never had the words for. His latest single Arizona Iced Tea is a summer road trip love story, all windows down, hearts wide open, and time moving slow. It blends bright pop production with a nostalgic edge, capturing what it feels like to fall for someone when everything feels warm and possible. His sound drifts between pop, indie, and cinematic, with glowing synths, acoustic textures, and lyrics that land when you least expect them. Virginia to Vegas is about turning real life into songs that stay with you.
