"I’ve had the privilege of knowing Derick Sebastian since he was a young boy, just beginning his ukulele journey. Even then, it was clear he was destined for greatness. His talent was undeniable, but what truly stood out was the passion in his eyes—an unquenchable drive that assured me he would go far.
Over the years, I’ve watched Derick grow, evolve, and reach incredible heights. From his unforgettable renditions of the national anthem at basketball games to his unique style that pushes the boundaries of the ukulele, he continues to impress.

"Derick is truly an exceptionally talented musician, but his character and how he lives his life is even more beautiful! His love for family, the planet, and those he doesn’t even know shines so very brightly! He’s always smiling and bringing joy to others, which in this world is, unfortunately, not something people do enough. I know Derick loves his life, feels gratitude for all he’s worked hard for, and is a gorgeous human being, and for that, I’m absolutely honored to be his friend!"

“Derick Sebastian embodies the truth that passion drives purpose and with persistence anything can be conquered. You’ll love the stories of how he not only began to play the ukulele but went on to play the national anthem at NBA and MLB games, go on international tours, and record albums. His willpower is beyond admirable, and his musical talent makes me think the old Hawaiian gods are smiling upon, and yet he remains just a humble man who plays the ukulele.”

“You think time travel isn’t possible? My friends, some magicians can bend time to their will, teasing it from strings with their fingertips, sending it to reach our souls through our ears. They help us feel the warmth of past moments and the hope of tomorrow. They make our minds and hearts race while making time stand still. Derick is one of these magicians of time, whose magic is music—a magician so powerful I suspect he’ s actually timeless.”
Scott Morse
Filmmaker and Graphic Novelist
