Jazzy Derk is one of the founders in the Netherlands of the DJ Live concept. In the late 90s he already started experimenting with this together with Hans Dulfer. With a broad music style and more than 2 decades of experience he knows how to support every event with his music. The experience is partly in how he can get the audience in the right mood. " Then you feel everything synchronize" says Jazzy Derk.

Jazzy Derk (Derk de Koning) is a musician, composer who has developed as a pianist and DJ. With the DJ live concept Jazzy Derk has performed for years with famous artists like Candy Dulfer, Berget Lewis, Do, Hans Dulfer and many others. At the moment he has a large pool of live artists available at all times so that his concept can in fact be put away for small events with solo or duo line-ups, as well as for requests with larger line ups. Derk is also often asked to set up DJ- and/or Jazz programming for local hotels and restaurants.

Jazzy Derk started working with DJs around 1996/1997.
