Artist Information

Biography

Duncan Daniels is a 26yr old British-Nigerian singer, producer, and song writer. Born in Boston, Massachusetts, raised in England and Nigeria, he found his way back to Boston to study Music Production & Engineering at Berkley College of Music. Over the years Duncan has perfected the art of bringing to life a diverse mix of Pop, Rock, and R&B. His music combines the right ingredients of beats, vocals and rhythm that can only be unique to his name and his brand, DunkishRock.


Duncan’s musical talents became evident at a young age, and those around him quickly took notice when he started writing music and playing the piano at the age of 11. He accredits his passion for music to growing up listening to artists such as U2, Bon Jovi, boyz II men, and of course the late great Michael Jackson. At the age of 15, the talented teen already started producing music and working with various Record labels and production companies worldwide. As an avid Traveler, he has performed at major events all around the world, including Europe, Africa, and North America. And in 2006 Duncan released his debut album “I Don Taya”, compiled of 12 tracks that holds classic tunes such as “Will Tomorrow Ever Come”, “Take me Home”, to name a few.

On February 14th 2010 Duncan dropped his sophomore album titled ‘Sho Stoppah’, which includes hits like the song ‘Like This’ in which he teams up with MTV Africa’s 2009 award winning rapper, M.I. You can also find Duncan on the worldwide Coast2Coast Mixtape Vol 87 presented by Lil Fats. Recently the video for ‘Like This’, won a place on FUSE TV on Demand and also got on The MTV BASE music video charts, getting massive spins all over Africa and parts of Europe. His album ‘Sho Stoppah’ includes artists such as Mode 9, M.I, Naira, Felyne and many more.

As an unsigned independent artist, Duncan Daniels’ hard work shows in the success and fan base he has gained since the release of his debut album. Some of these achievements were highlighted on the “Independent Husslers” segment of The Coast2Coast Magazine when he was featured in the February 2010 Issue #5.

We can expect to see Duncan deliver us another great album titled ‘Life Your Life’ early 2012. The album will include hits like “Ready for Love” which was officially released on ITUNES June 15th 2010, and ‘That Girl’, featuring Mighty Mystic.

Duncan Daniels presently Lives in New York, steady on the path to the top. Stay tuned and check back for more updates!
