Kevin
Duke was born into a family that has a great appreciation
for music. He is the last of five (5) children. He has always had a
deep passion for music with special interest for the voice. His love
for God and music, as well as the moral support from his family has
been the driving force behind him, pushing him to record his gospel
album.
As a child, there were times when his
mother and him would sing and record onto a cassette. Hearing her sing alto made
him eager to learn to sing another part beside the basic melody of a
song, which he is now able to do.
He has also had the opportunity to sing and record at
one of his neighbour’s whilst being accompanied with the guitar.
Whenever he hears a vocal run, he
practices until he gets it. He quotes, “Giving up is not a part of
me.”
Kevin's
greatest influences are Kim Burrell and Smokie Norful. He likes
their musicianship and their creative way of vocalizing.
He was a finalist at the Local Full
Gospel Song Festival in the year 2004.He was also honoured at
the Seventh-day-Adventist’s Women’s Ministry convention for taking
the time out to sing at their graduation ceremony.
Kevin is also a lyricist. Writing
songs is another way of expressing him. He writes songs based his
personal experiences as well as observations of the things that
surround him.

Sample
from upcoming album 'This Journey':
Struggling
I'm tired of letting you down.
Why can't I just be strong? You've made the
sacrifice, For me to have everlasting life.
Lord I don't want to keep hurting
You,
But it's so easy to do. I give
you full control, Take my heart and make me
whole.
I start off on my day,
I'm trying to do things Your way. Lord I
don't know what to do, But I know You'd see me
through.
I present myself, a living
sacrifice. Lord I'm willing to pay the price.
You are, the one who cares for me, So I’ve
got to be the best that I can be.
