Derek, The Prodigal Son

Derek Hooten was born on September 18, 1971 in Cincinnati, Ohio. At a very young age, Derek shocked his parents with his musical abilities when he began playing various songs that he taught himself on a recorder instrument.
After graduating from high school, Derek acquired a love for writing lyrics in the form of poetry and rap music. Motivated by his older brother Chuck, he learned the basics of studio recording and live performance.
One day, while struggling with what direction to take his music, he was watching a musical performance on a television show. It featured a Christian Rap group called "The Cross Movement". Derek was amazed at how inspiring and talented the group was. Days later while praying, the Holy Spirit told him, "Now can you see what I gave you this talent for?" Derek rededicated his life back to Christ, and ever since it has become his heart's desire to please God and use his talents for the sole purpose of bringing people closer to Him.
