Derek Mount (also known as Chap Stique) is the guitarist for the Christian rock band Family Force 5. He was an additional guitarist for the band on their first album, Business Up Front/Party In The Back, but became a full-time member after one of the band's guitarists (20 Cent, real name Brad Allen) left after recording the album.

While Solomon, Jacob, and Joshua Olds are all brothers, Derek Mount and Nathan Currin are just two of their friends who fill out the rest of Family Force 5.

An honor graduate of the University of Georgia, Derek Mount lived in the River Mill Apartment Complex his junior and senior year of college where he spent the majority of his time practicing guitar and creating elaborate pranks with his roommate, Collin Garner. It was also during this time that Derek read the book Tuesdays With Morrie which helped him see the world as a more profound place and gave him sound advice to help him through life’s obstacles. It is with the wisdom of this book that Derek credits much of his success in the music industry.

When not performing in Family Force Five, Derek enjoys eating at Captain D’s and playing electronic football arcade games. He also has great aspirations of joining the Professional Bowling Tour. With what many call a “wicked hook,” Derek might not be too far off from making this dream a reality.
