About the Artist in his own words: Derek Fiddler, Chairman of Blackbird Partnership LLP

Born at a junction where life began with a unique twist—my father was my delivering doctor—I'm the sixth of seven children in my family. My early years were shaped by leadership and community involvement; I served as president of the Indian Club in high school and collaborated with Dean Schrempp as a helper at the Boxing Club of Cheyenne River. My passion for youth empowerment led me to co-create the 7 Generation Youth Council, which brought together 19 communities, each with its own youth council, under a larger council. This experience fueled my commitment to making a difference in the lives of young people. After my time in the Navy, where I witnessed the events of 9/11 while sailing in the Persian Gulf, I returned home to work in construction. I had the privilege of building various structures on the reservation, from elderly villages to doctors' homes, contributing to the well-being of my community. My work extended to environmental initiatives, including efforts at the landfill and tips for the tribe, as well as working with the Game, Fish, and Parks department. I found my creative outlet as an art intern at a non-profit called MAIN, where I contributed to community arts initiatives. Alongside my work, I balanced full-time college studies while training horses and launching my own drum business. I played a role in changing Columbus Day to Indigenous Day, advocating for recognition and respect for Indigenous cultures. Over the years, I've taught over 4,000 children across Houston through after-school programs, sharing knowledge and fostering creativity. Ultimately, I’m just a man with a simple wish: to ride into the sunset on horseback, feeling the warm sun on my face as life unfolds.

One People seeks to give people the opportunity to recycle the idea of peace and integrate it into their daily lives. The goal is to sprinkle each individual with a little hope through music and art—a hope that we can all live in a peaceful and more just world. Another key objective is to inspire individuals to take action for peace.  One People aims to release music that addresses important themes of our time, viewed through the lens of the cultural diversity and perspectives of all continents.  The One People Association is an apolitical, non-religious, and idealistic organization that serves as the financial platform for the peace project One People.  The association’s primary purpose is to spread ideas of peace and brotherhood worldwide through music releases and to promote greater tolerance by emphasizing creative forms of collaboration.  One People seeks to encourage peaceful actions by highlighting musical cooperation across national borders, religious beliefs, and cultural differences. While music is at the heart of One People, other creative expressions may also be connected to the initiative.  Collaboration The project's credibility is demonstrated through collaborations with artists, media, professionals from various industries, and, not least, through the idealistic One People Trust Foundation. The completion of the first album and the establishment of the Foundation serve as the first proof of the effort invested so far.  The association’s board manages all financial affairs, ensuring that any incoming funds are used to promote the project's purpose and core values.  As partners, we are genuine collaborators in all peace efforts. We aim to facilitate meetings between people who dedicate their time to making a positive impact on the Earth and humanity, without commercial interests.  Beyond being a unique and innovative peace project in itself, One People also serves as a platform for other idealistic initiatives that need support and visibility for their own events. One People can provide assistance in the form of artists, technical expertise, or creative solutions. In other words, by supporting this "modern" peace initiative, one also supports multiple other idealistic efforts.  The concept of building bridges between religions, cultures, and ethnic backgrounds—regardless of distance and cultural differences—remains the project's core principle and most important agenda.
