FRESH MUSIC: "TILL THE WORLD ENDS" - DAVID DUANE

DOWNLOAD

David Duane, a young Pop/R&B singer-songwriter and dancer started singing at the age of 11 years old. He started his training as a dancer in 1999. David discovered his talent while he was on the phone with two of friends, singing the hit single “Leave (Get Out)” by. JoJo. 


In the year of 2002, he formed a male duo group which would feature Malcolm B, David’s best friend and David. The group went by the name “DM3”. David says “I came up with the name while Malcolm & I were on the phone one day. But the “DM” is for our name and the 3 is just the magic number.” DM3 wrote & produced there first song together which never released titled “Party Over There”. A year later, DM3 disbanded to create a new group with a female songstress, Maegan, another friend of David. Once Maegan joined the group they were known as “Harmony”. 


So with the new group line up David, Malcolm, and Maegan worked hard together as a trio. David felt so inspired to write a song for the group titled, “We Are Harmony”. “I love that song….It was an introduction to who we’re as a group and solo artist. “ David said. David as a younger child always had a dream of being in a group but the other didn’t. The group broke up as David and Malcolm moved forward as a writing team under the name “DM3”. The two both were writing songs for other artist, themselves, and each other. Once again, David wrote two records which would be a song for his album in the near future. “Lose Me (U Lose Me) “was about being in a relationship where the female was cheating and David breaks up with her. “I Don’t Care” was a song about a guy speaking to the haters telling them that his doesn’t care about their negativity. David then began his work as a solo artist writing songs and continued working as a dancer. 


Now David is hard at working on on his debut album and EP coming out in 2012/2013. The sound his going is described as “pop-r&b-soul-rock-electro twist” known as “Pop&B”. “Pop&B” is a sound that David created just for his career as a singer-songwriter to stand out in the Unsigned/Indie music artist world.

The Faculty return with a new track following the underground success of their single 'Soldier' which featured Terry tha Rapman and Pherowshuz. Phero is called upon again on this track called 'We dey run things' which features a Bishop Lamont sample. The top notch lyricism and banging instrumentals the crew is getting popular for, shine through on this song. We'd like to think this is Naija Hip Hop at its finest, we definitely hope you feel the same.

The Faculty is one of Abj's (if not Naija's) finest Hip Hop outfits. The crew of Five, GrandSUN, Gwan and Juze, have been quietly building their fan base for a minute, with tracks like 'Ice Cream', 'Off the ground' and recently 'Soldier' which featured Pherowshuz and Terry the Rapman. The crew of four have been together for a couple of years since they met in school, Ahmadu Bello University, and have gone on to garner respect from lovers of Naija Hip Hop and music in general. With influences like Fela, Jay-Z, Asa, B.E.P, Saul Williams, Tuface, Will Smith, The Roots and Lira, the Faculty often show a versatility that defies their Hip Hop core.
