That D-Nice is multi-impassioned prevents him from being defined as solely brand darling party rocker. His dedication to the 1’s and 2’s fuel his second love: photography. All-star access and a natural eye for candid stills built Derrick a stellar collection rich with coveted countries and A-list variety––Halle Berry to Kid Rock. It’s why in 2009, CW leapt at the opportunity to feature him as photographer on Tyra Banks’ America’s Next Top Model. Whether spinning in South Africa on Mary J Blige’s tour or capturing the endless texture of Brooklyn Heights, D is rarely without his Leica camera.
