Duffmusiq - Sidewalk Sequel (2021)

International guitarist, multi-instrumentalist and award-winning producer Duffmusiq is poised to release his much-anticipated second solo album, Sidewalk Sequel, this coming Fall 2021. For this dynamic new recording, Duffmusiq has produced music imbeded with his trademark smooth, vintage and authentic soul and rhythm and blues motifs. Theis Album also features dynamic jazz melodies as well as infectious musical themes that have been inspired by Duffmusiq’s everyday experiences. For this project, Duffmusiq has assembled a cast that includes some of the most sought after international musicians. “I had the idea of doing the album by having different guest musicians on every track, and also incorporating small vocal parts here and there, so that it’s not an entirely instrumental album.”, Duffmusiq explains.
On Sidewalk Sequel, Duffmusiq wears several hats – not only acting as producer, but also mixing the recording and performing on guitar and keyboards, .

In 2002, he graduated with Honours in both Music Production and Studio Engineering. Shortly thereafter, he formed the band “Jamesking” featuring vocalist Gyles. Duff was so impressed with this talented singer/musician, that he began focusing on her as a solo artist, as well as producing and co-writing new material with her. Together, they won 2nd place at both the 2008 and 2010 “Radio Star National Songwriter's Competition”, and with the release of Gyles’ 2013 EP Love and Denial, Duffmusiq also received the award as “Best Urban EP Production” at The American Indie Music Awards.
In 2012, Duffmusiq signed with the Los Angeles based “Rip Tide Music” for co-publishing and licensing. This association led to Duff’s music being placed on TV’s “Psych” (USA Network) and “Girlfriend’s Guide To Divorce” (Bravo) and in the films “Shark City” (Warner Brothers) and “Alles Is Liebe” (Universal Studios Germany). Black Lightning ( Warner Brothers 2020 ), Duffmusiq is both honoured and excited to have just positioned an original composition (which he also produced and composed) in an upcoming Lion’s Gate production about the life and career of the talented multiple award-winning pop and R & B vocalist, Toni Braxton.
With the Fall release of Sidewalk Sequel, Duffmusiq plans to perform and tour in support of the new recording, as well as to continue to compose for television and film, and also continue to develop, write for (and with) and produce many more talented international artists.
