Aside from being a premiere disc jockey, Derrick “D-Nice”Jones has another talent not many people are aware of. Having opened for the likes of Billy Joel, Vice President Joe Biden, and even President Obama, the New York native picked up a camera and his images are just as captivating as when he mixes songs. As you look at the images you truly understand the meaning behind the saying “a picture is worth a thousand words”.
