“I am really looking forward to the gig at the end of February and I hope people can come out and support my new music. I would describe my style as powerful and inspiring gospel music and I truly believe I was put on this earth to sing and inspire people.

“We will have a presenter from Dundalk FM compering the show and as well as myself singing there will be an open mic slot where anybody can come up and sing a song. I come from a very small town in

Zimbabwe called Granary Park which probably has a population of less than two thousand people. I was inspired by family and friends back home who I can remember singing a lot when I was growing up and a couple of years ago I decided to come to Ireland to study as well as try and start my musical journey.

God has guided me every step of the way so far and helped me develop the skill of songwriting so now it’s time to show these new songs off. My musical brand is called Greater life Music and through my music I ask people to live a joyful life and to spread kindness. The songs are full of positive messages and hopefully if somebody is feeling down and hears one of my songs I hope that they can be inspired. My ultimate dream is for my music to impact people’s lives in a positive way,” concluded Dereck.

Dereck’s Thanksgiving Family Concert will take place between 6-8pm in the Imperial hotel, Dundalk. You can buy an early bird ticket online at www. gr8events.ie for €10 or pay €12 at the door on the night.
