Major Life Update: The Unveiling of the Real Derrick Solano

Alright, let’s get real. If you’re reading this, buckle up—because this is the raw, unfiltered truth about where I’ve been, why I’ve done what I’ve done, and where I’m headed next. Spoiler alert: I’m done hiding.

For years, I lived fractured. Split between the person I was expected to be, the person I pretended to be, and the person I actually was. The irony? I had the map for healing tucked away inside me the whole damn time. I just didn’t have the guts to follow it. That changed this year. Call it rock bottom, call it clarity, call it whatever you want, but in the beginning of October, I stopped bullshitting myself. I started the self-healing journey I’d been avoiding for years, and let me tell you, it was like ripping my soul out of hiding and forcing it into the light.

In the process, I wrote two books. Not because I wanted to be an author, but because I needed to vent. I needed to bleed all the poison out of me—the pain, the anger, the trauma I’d carried for decades. Those books, I Won’t Break and Vexture, aren’t just stories—they’re my survival etched into pages. They’re raw, unapologetic, and honestly, I wrote them for me. But once they were finished, I knew I couldn’t keep them locked away. If they could help me heal, maybe they could help someone else too.

Then came the music. Five songs I’d written years ago but never released because I wasn’t ready to let people see that side of me. I Won’t Break, Ghosts Don’t Fade, Fallen, But Still Rising, Fade in the Dark, and Stand Tall—each one a piece of my journey, each one pulling a little more truth into the open. Releasing them was terrifying, but it was also freeing. It was another step in this whole process of shedding everything I used to hide behind.

And then there’s the blog and the podcast. I wrote my life down. Every messy, painful, beautiful moment. I turned those words into a podcast because I knew some people needed to hear it instead of reading it. It was all about one thing: owning my story. No more secrets, no more shame, no more pretending. That alone was a kind of therapy I didn’t know I needed.

But there was still one final piece. One last layer I’d kept hidden, even after everything else was laid bare. My psychic abilities. The part of me I’ve had since birth, the side of me that everyone close to me knows but that I’ve kept carefully locked away from the public. Sure, I’ve given readings online for over 20 years, but I always did it under an alias. I never put my real name on it because I wasn’t ready to fully own it. I was afraid of judgment, afraid of what people would think, afraid of being seen.

Not anymore.

This is the moment where I stop running. I’m launching my psychic readings and energy cleanses under my real name—Derrick Solano. No stage name, no aliases, just me. Raw, real, unapologetic. This isn’t some new version of me. It’s who I’ve always been, but for the first time, I’m bringing every side of myself into the open. The books, the music, the blog, the podcast, and now the psychic services—they’re all part of one truth: I’m done living fragmented. I’m done hiding. I’m done being anything less than whole.

This decision might rattle some people. Hell, it rattled me. Putting yourself out there, especially as a psychic, isn’t exactly the safest or easiest thing to do. But here’s the thing: I’ve spent too many years caring about what other people think. And if writing down my life taught me anything, it’s this—what other people think doesn’t matter. What matters is living as your authentic self, no matter how messy, complicated, or unconventional that might be.

So, here I am, offering my gifts to the world as they are, as I am. If you’re ready for real, no-fluff psychic readings or energy work, I’m here. You can find me on Fiverr: fiverr.com/derrick_solano. Share this with anyone who needs to hear it. Whether you’re curious, skeptical, or just looking for clarity, I promise you’ll get nothing but the unvarnished truth from me.

This is the final step in a journey that’s been years in the making. It’s terrifying. It’s liberating. It’s everything I’ve been working toward. And I know this isn’t the end—it’s just the beginning of a new chapter. Maybe there’s a third book in me about what it means to finally live as your whole self. Maybe there’s more music. Maybe there’s something else I can’t even imagine yet. For now, I’m here, standing in the light, ready to embrace whatever comes next.

To everyone reading this: thank you. Thank you for taking the time to hear my story, for witnessing this moment, for being part of this wild, messy journey. Wish me luck, share this post, and remember—if you’re tired of hiding, if you’re tired of being someone else, it’s never too late to come home to yourself.
