Artist | Songwriter | Producer | Choreographer | Label Owner: HartBr8k Music


“When you love what you do, You Win! I just want to share what I love with the world.”
LaDerryl Hart, a noted singer, songwriter, producer, dancer and choreographer, is a true example of a blood-born relationship with the art of music. Hailing from Detroit, Michigan, LaDerryl was introduced to music as more of a second language being surrounded by a family of singers and musicians. Whether it was singing in church or watching his father play bass guitar, it was evident that he had found his first love.
The Detroit High School of Fine & Performing Arts (DSA) began the shaping of LaDerryl’s craft as he toured the country with the schools choirs but his dancing and love for choreography began to shine through as well. While designing the moves for several local artists and bands, Hart began auditioning for larger acts such as Antwan & Ray Ray (with Robert Curry of Day26) and was given the chance to perform in their new video. This break opened his eyes and set his sights on the entertainment industry at large.
The next phases flew by with Hart attending Star Factory Artist Development right out of high school and releasing his first E.P. JiGonya in 2006 (under the name JiG). The dance infused sound LaDerryl had created was perfect for a promotional tour of over 100 schools in which he was able to fulfill one of his key purposes; Giving Back.
“Dancing allows you to create your own world. Like telling  stories without words. Its a place of getaway; a place of creativity and individuality. A place where you can be yourself and nothing else matters.” Following this mantra, Hart gained the attention of more than just the locals. He began touring with Michigan based International Artist such as Dorinda Clark Cole, Kierra "Kik"i Sheard, and Karen Clark Sheard. And yet, there was more in store. He felt the pull and answered swiftly moving to Los Angeles, California in 2007 where he truly recognized the weight and depth of his call to this industry. Doors began to open as if he had been given the master key. Quickly LaDerryl began booking dance opportunities with huge national and international artists such as Stevie Wonder, Jason Derulo, Gnarls Barkley, Ginuwine, Calvin Harris, series spots on American Idol and commercial work for Adidas. Hart was then awarded the opportunity to tour with 5 time Grammy Award winning artist Missy Elliott. “Dancing for other artists helped me understand a lot about who I was [as an Artist]. I gained inspiration.” LaDerryl had been inspired to “create his own lane” and blaze a trail with his own music.  In late 2012, Hart separated himself from the pack. He began to delve into his own life to create something real, something whole, something… Hopeful. LaDerryl found inspiration in his experiences, his family (which is at the core of his drive) and his faith to create a sound as fresh as the air.
“I think its a blessing to be an artist and be able to effectively choreograph my own shows. That’s one of the things that makes me who I am. I’m not TRYING to do anything, I’m just being me. Why write about something that you’re not?”
LaDerryl is a complete artist and desires to set a standard in mainstream entertainment with a mind full of dreams, a heart full of love and a sound full of purpose.
