Growing up and playing instruments in his grandmother’s church made it almost inevitable for Rondeau “Duke” Williams to become a music producer. Raised in a musically inclined family, Duke picked up the drumsticks at age 6 and never put them down. Born and raised in Detroit, Duke was influenced by The Winans, Teddy Riley, Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis, and Berry Gordy. He quickly learned to play the organ and keyboard, which catapulted him into composing. Duke has produced many records including “Boyfriend” by 3LW, “Lights Down Low” by Bobby Valentino, and “Shy Guy” by Mya. Additionally, Duke produced the chart topping single “Thing Called Us” for Hamilton Park on Harrell Records/Atlantic. Soulful, melodic, and classic are the adjectives that best describe Duke’s R&B centered tracks.
