Derek Voss
Bass / Backing Vocals
Age 29
Outgoing and quick-witted, Derek keeps rehearsals light with constant jokes yet locks in instantly when the click track starts; onstage he bounces lightly while trading glances that keep the pocket tight.
Backstory
Raised in a Houston funk family, Derek played upright bass in jazz ensembles before switching to electric; he met Marcus at a 2020 Austin jam session and immediately pushed for the funk-rock hybrid that became Crossed Wires’s signature.
Gear
1972 Fender Precision Bass, Ampeg SVT-4PRO head with 8x10 cabinet.
Visual Identity
Stocky and muscular at 5'10", Derek has wavy sandy-blond hair to his collar, bright blue eyes, and a short beard. He typically wears dark-wash straight jeans, a white tank under an open short-sleeve Hawaiian shirt, white high-top sneakers, and a leather wrist cuff.
