Artist History Derva began as an afterschool jam session with friends Chris Inge, Collin Adman, and Tristan Turk. Being in their high school's jazz band together helped them in playing with the same style. After about a year, the trio began writing their own songs and just before entering their junior year, added guitarist Tim Hale and vocalist Jeff Leaves. Using influence from Incubus, P.O.D., and A perfect circle, the group developed many songs over a relatively short amount of time. They performed their first battle of the bands in December 2002 and won first place. They were awarded with recording time and were also presented with a contract with Full Color Promotional Works. Currently the band is playing out and is planning a short tour this summer and will co-headline.
