Derrick Burt is a native of Muskegon, Michigan who resides in Jackson, Mississippi with his wife Kimberly and children, Jillian Marie and Derrick Lamont Burt, II. After transferring from Calvin College to Jackson State University, Derrick moved to Mississippi with the belief that he would attend college and pursue sports. Although he did attend and study business and music there, God's plan took him down a different path. Derrick answered God's call to the ministry and became a memeber of the Jackson Revival Center where he serves as director of the choir and is an ordained minister. He is liscensed by the International Ministerial Association. With the belief that music can be used to prepare the way for the word of God to be delivered to the heart of man, he sings often in churches, weddings, and other civic events. Derrick Burt is in the process of releasing his second CD, and was the recipient of two Gospel Music Awards for his first entitled, "Living in the Light." Derrick believes that music can be used to directly deliver the message of God to the heart of man and cause the spirit to be renewed or uplifted, and does so whenever he is presented with the opportunity.
