interest in
music. When

violin, a
year later
at the age
of 10 he
began
playing the
drums.
One day his
mother took
him to a
parade in
Riverside,
California.
Derrell was
drawn to the
loud musical
announcements
the
Trumpet's
were making
during the
parade. At
that point
the Trumpet
became the
instrument
of choice.
At the age
of 17 during
the early
70's, he
formed a
band in
Riverside,
California
called the
Payne Band.
This was a
funk band,
playing the
top 40 songs
