Duncan King

Born with an innate sense of rhythm, Duncan started banging on pots & pans before he could even walk and was ready to perform publicly when he was very young.   "I saw a group of Korean drummers when I was about four and I could not wait to get home and start drumming. I've been hooked on percussion ever since."  Duncan started his musical career as the youngest ever member of Steel De Boro.  

Duncan won the National CampJam online solo competition for drums in 2010.  A panel of music professionals and highly acclaimed drummers chose him as their winner.   He was also named the Winner in RocketTown Nashville's  first ever drum-off in 2012.  He has been part of two International Blues Challenge  Youth Bands from AL and TN.  He has competed in the IBC in Memphis 3 times with these two bands.
