Derrick Barry has been a performer all his life. Born and raised in Modesto, California, he began training as a gymnast at the age of 5. After competing for 7 years, at 12 years old, he decided to trade in gymnastics for the Theatre. Derrick showcased his acting abilities in over 30 productions between junior high, high school and college. At the age of 19, he moved to Hollywood to further his passion for the art of performing. Halloween 2003 piloted his new found career of impersonating the amazingly talented Britney Spears. Summer of 2004 brought Derrick to Las Vegas to join the incredibly talented cast of An Evening at La Cage at The Riviera Hotel and Casino on The Strip. He can seen 6 nights a week with a showtime of 7:30pm. Derrick Barry also continues to entertain through his comedic videos known as "The Experiences". He looks forward to a long career in the entertainment business both as an actor/comedian and female impersonator.

"The second time I dressed up like Britney Spears was at The Tonight Show with Jay Leno on November 17, 2003. Production personnel in the studio went up and told Britney, while sitting next to Jay, I was in the audience. Britney was shocked. I heard her say "Oh My God' as she covered her mouth. By this time, they already had a camera on me ready to record after the commercial break. Jay soon segwayed into asking her if she would date a guy like me. The camera was recording and the house lights came on. She said, "Yes. He's very into himself." I danced to the I'm a Slave 4 U routine in my head. It was my fifteen seconds of fame. Jay quickly replied, "I don't think he's into himself this guy. I think he's into you." She agreed, "Maybe so, maybe so" as she smiled and clapped for me. Jay later told Jim Belushi that he missed the "Bretney Spears" in the audience. The camera panned over on me one last time. This was truly one of the most exciting days in my career."

"The truth of it is, is when you go live, I mean you know, there is no lip-sync live, there's no, you know there are artists that use stats, when they're on stage, I mean that's just because they're not really musicians who can perform live. They're artists who are studio accomplished, but they're very different things, and, I sort of, I love the challenge of having to do it, you know with the nervousness in your voice and the cold hands and the butterflies. I think all of that makes it magical, or a train wreck, and you know, it's, that's the danger of it. So, if you use stats, then you're really not very dangerous are you?"
