The Saint Lucia Tourism Authority mourns the loss of the legendary production genius, Derek Lewis. Derek was never an ordinary man. On, and off the event site, he harnessed creativity and high standards to deliver measurable returns on investment, while building brand equity for the Saint Lucia Jazz and Arts Festival, which he so Derek A. Lewis meticulously produced for nearly two decades, under the auspices of BET Jazz. Derek was an exemplary leader and a ‘professional father’ who left his mark on Saint Lucia, imparting knowledge to many apprentices year after year. He was instrumental in providing event production employment opportunities abroad for many Saint Lucians including musicians and technicians who are now evolving internationally.
