From an early age, Derrick knew that drumming was the one thing he really wanted to do. At the age of 10, Derrick was inspired by a friend playing in a reggae band. This encouraged him to go out and play his own local gigs.

Derrick McKenzie joined a band called Urban Species, a rap outfit from North London where he toured Europe extensively and also performed in Japan.
