About Us
At PIPS Entertainment, we do more than produce events — we create experiences that resonate, bringing people together through music, culture, and unforgettable moments that live on long after the final note.
Founded by Derrick Pipkin, a visionary entrepreneur with a gift for creating memorable gatherings, PIPS Entertainment has been curating standout experiences for over 35 years. What began as a dream in the heart of Los Angeles has grown into a powerful brand known for energy, authenticity, and community.
From the legendary PIPS Party in Palm Springs to the soulful Mother’s Day Jazz & Blues, the vibrant rhythms of Afro-Latin Groove, the beloved Grooving on Sundays at the Ford Theatre, and the intimate live music nights at PIPS On LaBrea, every PIPS production is built with passion, purpose, and a commitment to creating magic.
At the center of it all is a simple mission: to give people experiences they can feel, remember, and look forward to again and again.
