We had the good fortune of connecting with Duce BlaQue and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Duce, why did you decide to pursue a creative path?
I love to create. I have experienced things and encountered people in my life that have helped build the foundation to a lot of my music.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I use real life experiences to either laugh at or face the truth in my pain. There are some dark areas that will never go away but the darkness fades a little as you experience more light on the path to success. I have learned to face my obstacles so I can understand how to grow from them. My music is a reflection of my life.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
Absolutely! At the beginning of the week we would site see and make note of all the exciting places they have heard about prior to coming to visit and do a least to greatest type thing. Then I would take them to some of my favorite spots throughout the week and then end the week with a trip to their top 3 picks.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
The entire Moist Pound Cake Crew and the Duce BlaQue Listening Committee. They really supported and gave me the time and attention nobody else would when I first started in the music industry. I thank and love them dearly!
