scene with his fervent celebration of eclectic soul, blues and jazz since 2017. His
musical style is a vibrant tapestry of buoyant colours, seamlessly weaving together
influences from blues, funk, R&B, and jazz into a rich and dynamic sound.

industry.
In 2021, Duffmusiq delivered two stellar offerings to his fans. “SIDEWALK SEQUEL”
is a testament to his mastery of smooth jazz, featuring a collection of constantly
grooving tracks that range from feisty, horn-fired danceability to slow-simmering

Janet Jackson and Christina Aguilera, “SECRET” takes listeners on an engaging
and eclectic musical journey.
