Bio: 

Derrick L. Bridges is a singer, songwriter, musician and gospel artist, who was born into a rich family heritage of gospel music. His first singing obligation came as he traveled with his family group, The Voices of Harmony, led by his great aunt, Pastor Elsie Rhodes. His childhood consisted of singing and traveling with the likes of Kevin Youngblood & the New Creation, Marquis Powell and the Interfaith Choir, The Mississippi Fine Arts & Seminar Choir and more.  At the request of his pastor, Reverend Eddie Porter, he accepted the role of his church director of music position at the age of eleven. Derrick formed his own gospel group, The Harmony Five, at the age of thirteen. This group later became known as CWV (Children with Voices) after the desire to participate from other youth from the community. At the age of fifteen, he was asked to be the lead singer of The Brothers in Christ.

Derrick’s degrees and formal education came at the hands of Jones County Junior College and the University of Southern Mississippi. Named the 2018 Male Vocalist of the Year for the Gulf Coast Gospel Music Awards, Derrick is currently serving as a church musician on the Mississippi Gulf Coast.
