She subsequently received a recording contract with Sony Music Australia and released her debut extended play, All of the Pieces, in December 2014.
[4][5] During her high school years, Derry had already worked with the West Australian Symphony Orchestra and was an understudy in the musical The King and I at the Regal Theatre.
[13] Featuring guest vocal appearances from Cruz and rapper Miracle, the song peaked at number 29 on the ARIA Singles Chart.
Reigan Derry was a 26-year who auditioned for The X Factor singing "Someone like You" by Adele and progressed to the super bootcamp round of the competition.
Derry made it to the second bootcamp challenge, where she performed a ballad version of "Numb" by Linkin Park to the judges and a live audience of one thousand.
[16] Derry's debut extended play, All of the Pieces, was released on 12 December 2014 and features studio recordings of selected songs she performed on The X Factor.
[22] She worked on the album for nine months in Australia, Sweden and the UK with several songwriters, including Jake Gosling, Adam Argyle, Jon Hume, Trinity and David Ryan Harris.
[23] In March 2016, it was speculated that Derry had been dropped by record company Sony Music, along with other X Factor finalists Nathaniel Willemse, Marlisa Punzalan and Dean Ray.
[36] However, as the vocal was only supposed to be for demo purposes, Reigan alleged that the New Zealand-born producer had used her cover without her consent or any written agreement between the two artists and that she had received no royalties from the hit record.
