About / Biography

HOW ARE YOU? MY NAME IS DEREK I CAN'T WAIT TO PERFORM AT YOUR EVENT!!!

I hope this BRAND NEW YEAR has brought you BRAND NEW HOPE!

I am a solo independent rap artist, born and raised in Cleveland Ohio. Gospel rapper and singer who had the opportunity to travel and live in Atlanta, Georgia for 16 years as a licensed barber and rap artist,

performing at just about any and every rap event or club that was most popular for rappers to do in the late '90s and my 16 years of residence there.

So, in other words, I have over 28 years of experience in the music industry as a whole; and one year of that 28 years of experience performing live on stage.

Lots of love,

Derek

And The car with my friends. Almost every single day, music was a humongous part of my life due to the connection I had through my parents and their love and fascination four music.

Every one I was around since I was a baby was motivated by music. They loved music, they had all of the 8 tracks, albums, 45 records, and then\nLater on cassette tapes.

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

The earlier the better! I would start at ten am in the morning if I could! 😀

However, the standard in which we were performing was always nightclubs. 99% nightclubs and the rest, large worldwide events which were hosted in atlanta georgia,

similar to lyricist lounge and Jack the rapper in magnitude. In terms of the audience and the vast amount of artists and performers in Atlanta, Georgia, that we're coming from all over the world however.

That was the one
Percent maybe once a year, out of 100%!
Mostly nightclubs every single week without fail!

The performances were mostly with my hip-hop group out of Atlanta.Georgia called black folk. It was four of us whom gathered a huge underground following in atlanta, throughout the nineties in early two thousands!


Are you happy to perform outside?

I've only performed big shows.Just one maybe outside. It was okay, it was pretty nice.Didn't have a chance really to get used to it but it went well!

We performed under a huge gigantic tent all of the performers and acts that day.


Do the clients have a say in what you play or is it a set repertoire list only?

I would love for the clients to have a say so! All of your ideas and thoughts are welcome! Matter of fact more than welcome! Any and all suggestions ideas are welcome!


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

They love us! It's been a fantastic ride.
They love getting on stage with us! They love cheering for us!

Even with me being sole artist now.
It just keeps getting better and better!
