Gospel artist, Duke of Harmony has released his latest single titled “Step”; a danceable song with an old traditional hymn.
Speaking about the inspiration behind the song, Duke of Harmony said “After writing the lyrics of the song, I searched the hymn book for one of my favorite hymns, then took a couple of lines from it and added it to the song to make an afro-infused gospel sound.
In high school, I leaned deeper into these genres and also discovered more genres like rhythm and blues, rap, and a little bit of pop and rock after high school.
I started miming a lot of songs I liked back then, especially rap, and after a while, I started writing my songs although I started with R&B.
I joined a musical group in my late teenage years into early adulthood and developed a deeper love for more music genres like ragga, dance-hall, and afro-infused sounds, and my lyrical construct as an artist improved immensely“.
Speaking on how he got his name; “The name Duke of Harmony originated with having the mindset of a leader, as a Duke could also be interpreted as ” a leader or captain” and the belief that Harmony in a song could “make” a song and bring out its beauty if properly constructed or “mar” the song if done otherwise. Not claiming to know it all, but I’m a leader who is always learning.
My message is simple- glorify Jesus with my music as much as possible”.
“Step” is available on all streaming platforms;
