Consistent. Credible. Courageous. Born and raised in the Washington, DC Metropolitan Area, Derrick Jackson recognized that he was set apart from a very early age. He is quick to share his beliefs and views on life, love and ministry, "I believe that everyone great realizes that they are going to accomplish something great way before it ever happens." Where those forces collide is where you'll find D.Jax Music.
A musician and entertainer from his adolescent years, D. has always been drawn to creating new and innovative sounds that would influence his generation. The power of music is humbling. One of his greatest challenges, however, was using his creative gifts for the greater good. At one time in his career, he balanced playing the keyboards and singing for three different choirs while releasing a secular album and winning emcee lyrical battles on the worldly scene. Torn between his musical ambitions and the dark path of mainstream music, D.Jax retired from hip hop completely to lead praise and worship teams in Charlotte, NC.
The moment of revelation came in April of 2011, after a seven year hiatus, that his gifts and calling from God was without repentance. He simply needed to harness these outlets and redirect them to glorify the Lord and His Kingdom. Now, with a concrete understanding of his purpose, D.Jax is fully supported by his loving (and growing) family and bonded into a brotherhood with other mighty men of valor. This yielded vessel is ready to sound the rally cry to believers that are willing to fight for freedom, faith, and family. D.Jax is back... and bound for greatness.
