Just an ordinary knucklehead strumming my six-string and singing songs.  Nothing but raw and real recordings from my heart. I labor with sweat and tears to make REAL music for REAL humans, because I refuse to let AI take that away from us.

An in-depth journey through the minds and hearts of some of Dallas-Ft. Worth's most talented local musicians, hosted by Dallas-based filmmaker and music-lover, Nick Melita

With a goal to be a part of music history and a will to win Ducado and Zenya  also known as DVZV are on a quest to show the world that they are certifiable game changers.  Steeped in Sly Stone Funk and Jimi Hendrix styled rock this team is a musical juggernaut.  With influences like Prince, The White Stripes, Joan Jett, Evanescence, James Brown and Led Zeppelin the intent is crystal clear, rule the day and make history.  A fiery stage show, dynamic live presence and a desire to be the total entertainment experience is one of the driving forces behind this duo.  On stage the duo share singing duties and swap playing multiple instruments the entire performance.  It’s like literally getting 2 shows rolled into one.  The goal is to give the audience a never before seen Live experience.  What you get from the stage is a unique blend of Funk, Rock, Soul, Hip-Hop and Pop.  They have coined the phrase Slasher Pop as the description of their musical style.  Both are prolific songwriters, multi-instrumentalists, vocalists, arrangers and visionaries.  Ducado is a songwriter and the producer of the duo.  Zenya is an outstanding lyricist, vocalist and musicians.  In the recording studio they play all of the instruments, sing all vocals, do all programming, engineering, mixing and producing of their music.  Their musical catalogs combined have over 1500 original songs and continues to grow.  Both Ducado and Zenya started out as solo artist but quickly realized there was a new found strength as a duo.  This became official in 2012.  

Ducado VeGA Funk/Rock specialist and Louisiana native, is a multi-talented musician, songwriter, producer, artist, multi-instrumentalist (plays 13 instruments), engineer, actor, author and motivational speaker.  Ducado has been in the music business for over 2 decades, has years of experience in recording and performing and a vast knowledge of the music biz.  

Zenya Vi was born in Texas and is an all out Rocker.  She contributes edgy keyboards, razor edge guitar, bass, drums and haunting vocals to the Ducado and Zenya sound.   As a youth she moved frequently around Texas and California and started singing, composing, and songwriting at a very young age.  Heavily influenced by her father (a drummer), she brings a unique fire to the duo.

This group has been touring and performing continuously since 2012, headlining at large and small venues including the House of Blues Dallas and New Orleans and performing for the Dallas Stars at the American Airlines Center in Dallas.  The duo has also been recording relentlessly over the past few years and have now started to release those recordings worldwide.
