Derek Triplett

Derek Triplett is not only a gifted speaker, preacher and teacher; God has blessed him to be an extraordinary songwriter. He began composing during his early teen years, but it was not until his young adult years that he started taking his writing seriously and after much prodding started exposing his music to his congregation, community choirs and ultimately to gospel music lovers at large.His first recorded single “Soldiers in the Army” was featured on New Birth Baptist Church of Miami, Gifts of Praise. The stirring composition, “I’m Grateful” can be found on the Full Gospel Baptist Church Fellowship Bow Down release. His spiritual father, Bishop Larry D. Trotter, recorded two Triplett songs, Great Change and Sweet Holy Spirit on his “What’s To Come Is Better than What’s Been” project. The up-tempo church devotional tune, “We’re in Your House”, is feature on the Ebony Praise compilation project.Triplett shows the depth of his worship with “In Awe of You” currently featured as the title cut and hit single for VGR Entertainment recording artist IZZY distributed by Jordan Entertainment Group and Koch Records. “Praise Party”, co-written with IZZY, gets your head bobbing. Look out for “Can I Get a Witness” on the upcoming release from the United Covenant Churches of Christ Mass Choir this summer.Derek Triplett and Hope Fellowship Chorale (HFC) are currently working toward their first national release. The live recording took place November 2, 2006 with a projected summer 2007 release. This gifted writer and worship leader is just beginning to scratch the surface in this new area of his ministry.
