Munk Duane is a Boston-based artist, producer, film score composer and twice a winner of the New England Music Award. With influences stemming from late 60s and early 70s pop and soul music, he takes his cues from artists such as Curtis Mayfield, Marvin Gaye, Prince and Stevie Wonder to create his timeless sound of indie pop.
Taking inspiration from the greats of music’s past, he filters them through his own sepia toned sonic lens to craft a sound that pays a respectful nod to the artists of yesteryear while offering a style that’s firmly rooted int he present day. Enjoying a wildly successful music career, his music has been licensed to countless TV and film productions including The 70th Annual Tony Awards, Pam & Tommy on Hulu, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Hawaii Five-O, NCIS and Blue Bloods, The Sopranos, the Super Bowl Half Time Show and NCAA March Madness among many others.
Recently he’s linked up with he production music arm of Sony Music Publishing called Extreme Music which has seen his original compositions synced with even more TV, film and advertising campaigns. Putting Munk Duane alongside some of music’s biggest names like Quincy Jones, Hans Zimmer, Snoop Dogg, deadmau5, Ice-T, Sir George Martin, Atticus Ross, Timbaland and more, he comments, “Seeing my name next to Hollywood composing legends on the Extreme platform is completely surreal.”
Sharing his knowledge with budding artists as a guest lecturer at the prestigious Berklee College of Music, he continues to share his dazzling sonic vision with the world via his solo releases. Following his well-received single from earlier this year titled “Myths”, he now brings us his latest work with his new single “Just a Word”.
Mastered by Brian Lucey, who’s previously worked with the likes of Lizzo, Post Malone and The Black Keys, at Magic Garden Mastering in Los Angeles, with his new single he delivers a laid back and elegant indie pop outing. Led by his alluring vocals over a smooth blend of guitar, bass, gently snapping percussions and intricate sonic textures, “Just a Word” is the latest gem from a celebrated music sensation who continues to share stunning music.
