Madeleine Bradley grew up in Hawke's Bay and signed a development deal with Universal music when she was just 19. Now, at 22, she's releasing music under the name Deryk.
Her debut single ‘Call You Out’, which came out earlier this year, received BBC Radio 6 Music airplay and praise from Apple Music's Zane Lowe, as well as award-winning UK fashion and music publication Clash Magazine.
She spoke to RNZ Music's Charlotte Ryan, who began by asking why she chose the name Deryk.
