LOS ANGELES, CA, UNITED STATES, December 24, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Derrell Thomas, the five-time Rhythm of Gospel Award Nominee, officially announces December 26th as the release date for his highly anticipated new record, ‘Live for You’. The self-taught pianist from Daytona Beach, Florida found his passion early on in life. The recording artist’s music career began at the age of 5 while singing in his father’s church.

Derrell Thomas has opened up for the legendary Yolanda Adams, Byron Cage, Josh Groban and is now back with new music with his soon to be released inspirational Gospel single, ‘Live for You’.

Derrell Thomas shared his thoughts on why he decided to sign a three album deal with Mixed Bag Entertainment’s music division:

“I am ecstatic to be a part of a winning team with Mixed Bag Entertainment along with DR Global Media Group and Entertainment. This partnership helps me make an impact around the world. I’m looking forward to spreading the word of God through music, inspiration, and by building connections.”

Gary Crockett, the COO of Mixed Bag Entertainment has been working with Derrell Thomas on his new music and is looking forward to releasing ‘Live for You’.
