Derrick who was known around the “radio” world as Master Gee, was a well-known disc jockey. He began his career at KJCB 770 A.M. He later ventured to 106.3 FM, Magic 104.7 FM and FOXY 107.9. In addition to the radio, he could be found in every parade that rolled. Everyone knew when “The Master” was coming. You could hear his voice and see his smile a mile away. His annual Battle of The DJ’s drew disc-jockeys from every city and crowds that left spectators standing in long lines. Also known as “The Mortician” because his mixes would slay those in the crowd, Master Gee would host his annual Mardi Gras Party with his signature coffin to lay his competition to rest. He was often imitated, but never duplicated. Master had finally achieved his dream of opening his own station KBGW Radio Station in New Iberia.
