Derek Tyler Carter (born December 30, 1991) is an American singer and songwriter from Habersham County, Georgia. He is most prominently known for being the singer for metalcore band Issues and former vocalist of Woe, Is Me. On January 13, 2015, he released his debut EP, Leave Your Love.
Though this local band from Buford, Georgia was his first serious endeavor, A Path Less Traveled began the vocal duo, and best-friend stardom of both Carter and co-frontman Michael Bohn.
Carter was recruited in 2009 to help develop the band Woe, Is Me. Already reaping interest and funding from Rise Records, Carter began writing demos with the band just before once again he would be joined in ranks by none other than Michael Bohn. Together with the band they recorded one full length entitled "Numbers" They also re-imagined a cover of Katy Perry's Hot n Cold for Fearless Records's Punk Goes Pop 3 before leaving the band due to personal and internal differences with the band and its core. Though Carter left first and pursued a milestone of Solo development and touring, with dedicated music partner Tyler "Scout" Acord, it wasn't long before he began development with Scout on a brainchild known as "Issues."
Issues was started in the summer of 2012 by Carter alongside Ty "Scout" Acord. At first, the band was created as a side project for Carter and Acord, but with the departure of Michael Bohn from Woe, Is Me, it was sure that the project would become a more serious endeavor. Bohn joined the development process with other disbanded members of Woe, Is Me. Fans and industry suits caught wind of the project and the demand began to grow faster than the developing project, creating a lot of pressure for style and quality. Carter and Acord would need to recruit new talent for the band in order to create something new and innovative as well as avoid the band becoming what fans referred to as "Woe 2.0"
