About Me |
|
| A ROCKING SINGER!!! Percy Duke was born in Dallas but didn't stay long. His wanderlust and his voice have brought him around the world and back. And when you experience him onstage, you know he's ready to go again! Percy went to New York City on his own at the age of fourteen because he wanted more than anything to sing and dance on Broadway. At the age of 15 he got his first Broadway show and continued a succession of 7 major Broadway Musicals before he took the role of Judas in 'Jesus Christ Superster', which brought him to Europe. This musical was key to Percy eventually becoming the rock singer he was meant to be! While in Europe, Percy had the opportunity not only to hone in on his Rocking vocal talent but as well sang backing vocals for the likes of Robbie Williams, Chaka Khan, Cher, Annie Lennox, Janet Jackson, Michael Jackson, Robert Palmer among others! He's played openers for Skunk Anansie, Jamiroquai, Bryan Adams, Lauryn Hill and Alanis Morissette. After a record deal in Germany with his former band, The Wicked, Percy decided to move his life to London where he now resides and is performing live and recording! We can't wait to see what happens with this major talent!!! Time Out, March, 2006. /a |
