Vitamin D (Derrick Brown) Seattle’s Vitamin D (born Derrick Brown) began toying with music production at the tender age of 11. After several years of honing his talents, Derrick began working in the Pharmacy studio in the legendary OK Hotel among ghosts of Seattle musicians past (Nirvana and Soundgarden performed here) and soon was producing records for artists like Gift of Gab of Blackalicious for his 2004 debut, Fourth Dimensional Rocketships Going Up, as well as Stuck Records’ Boom Bap Project. With releases on respected labels like Quannum, Epitaph, Rhymesayers Entertainment, Interscope and Def Jam, Derrick continues to build a prolific discography. Derrick met up with Crossfader’s Darek Mazzone in his Pharmacy studio to discuss his endless work ethic, delectable production equipment, creative process, involvement in the Red Bull Big Tune event, and advice for new producers.
