Mr. Derby Jams, Strong Enough for Adults but Made for Children

About Me

Hey there my name is Derick A-K-A Mr.Derby. I'm a native of Washington DC. At an early age I developed a great love for music. Inspired by the likes of Ray Charles, James Brown, Prince and believe it or not Mozart, I was blessed with the gift. I began to write, first music then lyrics and poetry. You see I believe music is the voice through which the soul speaks. I play several instruments including keyboard. I play by ear and I think that I have quite an ear for music. I currently have a children's CD out now "Mr. Derby Nursery Jams Vol. 1. You can check out my website at www.mrderbyjams.com. Listen to the CD, Holla' at Ya' boy. Now I know you are wondering "children's CD"? Well my family's daycare center closed in 2004 after 40 years in child care. I attained my degree in 1993 in the field of early childhood education. As a writer I began fusing conventional children's songs with my original musical stylings including: go-go, reggae, caribbean, jazz and house music. I am currently working on my next three children CD's. I've created a musical program that included both children and adults. It's call a Mr. Derby Jam Session.
