Derek Moloney fell in love with singing while still in primary school when he was chosen to sing a solo of “O Holy Night”. He decided to devote most of his spare time to singing and found a singing teacher. When he finished school, he headed to Dublin City and auditioned for National Chamber Choir, Ireland’s prestigious professional choir. He was asked to join the 17 member group and performed with them for several years.

In 2002, Derek was recognized nationally when he won the RTE Irish Television “Search For A Tenor” Competition. During the atteniton he gained from winning the contest, he held firmly to his vision for his singing career as a solo tenor and decided to release his first album as an independent artist. He was thrilled when “From This Day On”, which was released in March 2003 received a fantastic response. One year later, Derek, an enthusiastic rugby fan, decided to combine his love of singing with his love of the sport and released an album of rugby anthems in the form of “ Ireland, Ireland, Ireland”. The album struck a chord immediately with the Irish public and went to #1 on the classical charts. As a result, Derek was invited to sing for the Irish Rugby Team in Lansdowne Road.

Also in March 2004, Derek recorded a song for the commemorative James Joyce Album by RTE. This song also went to #1 on the classical charts giving Derek the distinction of being the first person ever to have two number ones on the Irish charts in such a short time as an independent artist. Derek spent much of 2005 singing at international rugby matches and at the Munster rugby games. Derek was asked to sing for the Irish President, Mary McAleese.
