Amir Derakh Biography
An American musician of Persian ancestry. As of 1997 he is the guitar/synthesizer player for the band Orgy. He was once a guitarist in the bands Rough Cutt and Jailhouse. After graduating in 1981 from Mission Bay High School in San Diego, California, Derakh played lead guitar for local bands Armed & Ready and Emerald. He moved to Los Angeles to replace Craig Goldy in Rough Cutt.

Besides Orgy, he has a side band called Julien-K, and made a guest appearance on Crazy Town`s The Gift of Game album. Julien-K released a remix of Chester Bennington`s solo song "The Morning After" which appeared exclusively on the soundtrack for the 2006 film Underworld: Evolution. Derakh describes the sound of Julien-K as Depeche Mode meets Chemical Brothers.

Derakh performed backing for Chester Bennington when he performed his song "Let Down" during 2005`s ReAct Now: Music & Relief televised concert. He also made an appearance in the 2003 version of the film Freaky Friday and has worked with many other bands, including Coal Chamber.
Derakh is 1/2 Iranian, 1/8 Irish, Austrian, Hungarian, Russian. He attended UCLA and earned his certificate in producing/engineering. [1]

Derakh also is an avid guitar designer. He has worked with Grover Jackson of Jackson Guitars and has personally designed several of the guitars he currently plays (the most famous being The Disruptor). One of his motivations for designing his own guitars is his desire to create something unique yet functional, and having the public wonder "Wow, what is that guy playing?" Amir also has a son named Michael Melody Davidson. [2]

According to Metal Sludge, his stage name is meant to imply the phrase "I`m Here to Rock."
