King Duke is made up of Derekh Froude and Benjamin Turner (or J-Amp and Tenjam...respectively). They met while going to college at The University of Arizona. After both of them graduated in May of 2003 (Derekh with degrees in Media Arts and Creative writing and Ben with a degree in Media Arts) the boys moved to New York City to pursue some sort of career(s). They now live in different parts of Brooklyn and occasionaly write genius acoustic pop songs.Band/artist history
The History of King Duke is taught in most college level Western Civilization courses. The band would encourage anyone interested in learning more to take one of these courses at their local community college. You may also find Roy Wageman's book "A People's History of King Duke" to be a helpful resource in your quest for knowledge about this band's truly unique path.Have you performed in front of an audience?Occasionally King Duke will play a show/practice session at the Prospect Park subway stop in Park Slope Brooklyn on the F train.
