As a boy, Derrick Scott was used to hearing his brother Freddie McKay’s hit songs on the radio. He dreamed of emulating his older sibling and kicked off his own music career in the late 1980s.
Three years ago, Scott fulfilled that ambition when his song God Answers Prayers topped the South Florida Reggae Chart. Produced by Willie Lindo, it speaks to the power of faith in God.
“This is really special to me, because it’s my first number one song,” said Scott.
McKay — who also scored with Picture on The Wall — and Scott are from Linstead, the market town which has produced numerous reggae stars including Phyllis Dillon, Joseph Hill of Culture and Tony Curtis.
Scott’s daughter, Kishna, singer Clifford Clarke and saxophonist Michael Woodstock will also perform at the event. They will be backed by the 10-piece Mission Band.
