Derek L. Brown aka D. Brown is a songwriter, producer, guitarist and multi-instrumentalist. 
He has used what God has blessed him with to create music that has been described as 
“unique, authentic, worshipful, eclectic and sincere.” Starting piano lessons in Junior High 
school with the masterful teacher Phyllis Tucker, the interest and fire for music was 
kindled. 
D. Brown released his debut CD “Eclectic” in 2012 of which he used to showcase the 
myriad of styles of music that have influenced him throughout his life. He followed up his 
debut in 2013 with the live recording of Spoken word & Jazz entitled “And The Word Became 
Flesh.” Working alongside spoken word artists Tifani Kendrick “The Prophetic Poetess”, 
Javier Sanchez and Barbara Fant, this live recording captured the energy and the power of 
the spoken word. 
In 2014 D. Brown joined forces with Ed Hill (saxophone) and David Jordan (keys) to form the 
acclaimed Contemporary Jazz group “Copacetic”. With Copacetic they have released two 
projects, the self-titled “Copacetic” and their sophomore release “Collage”. In the midst of 
these D. Brown released his third solo project entitled “Eclectic Vol. II”. 
After a five-year break D. Brown released his fourth project entitled “With These Hands” 
and upon its release tracked as high as #13 on the iTunes Jazz Chart. Music from the EP has 
aired on multiple internet and terrestrial radio stations and podcasts throughout the 
country. During the 2022 Kingdom Image Awards (KIA) Celebration D. Brown was selected

encompass this project highlight not only his virtuosity as a lead artist but his multi
instrumental brilliance to produce and collaborate with other artists. 

“GENESIS is a collection of songs that are meant to encourage,  
inspire and offer hope to everyone who chooses to listen. An eclectic  
mix of varying musical styles, GENESIS encompasses magnificent  
music, spectacular musicianship and heartfelt melodies.”
