Atlanta Ga

Derrick Monk was born in Dallas, Texas to a big, beautiful musical family. He has 11 siblings, and in 1986, three of them started a group called "FDR," (Frederick Derrick & Roderick.) "FDR" was signed to Fantasy Records in Berkley, CA that same year (now known as Concord Music Group.) They performed frequently in Oakland & also toured in Canada.  Although it was a family group, somehow, the spotlight always seemed to gravitate towards Derrick.
In 1993, his career in music began to grow and flourish in Oakland, California while doing BG vocals, singing in school talent shows & church choirs. It was then that he discovered his true purpose and calling, which would later be nurtured by some of the biggest names in Entertainment. Derrick’s many accomplishments in the Entertainment Industry
include the following … • Songwriting credits • Music Producer Credits • Stage Play/film credits
• Winner & frequent performer on nationally televised Showtime at the Apollo and Harlem, New York.
