My Grandfather was a string player, my father was a string player, and now I wiggle my fingers across the fret board.

Music is the fire that burns within me. Often I can't sleep because of the symphonies beating in my head. For me, music can be a diary. If I'm not singing to you through poetry, then I'll be talking to you through the guitar. Music is a mood, so my apologies for not sticking to one style of music, I must be a moody person.

I recently tried to explain what a major scale was to a friend… when I said “ok so this is “C major” … he asked “why?” 
It’s a really really good question.

Chris Dukes is an exciting and gifted multi-talented singer, songwriter, and instrumentalist. His music appeals to a wide audience because, as Chris says, “my love lies with music itself and not within a specific genre.”

Born in Albany, New York, and raised nearby in the small town of Voorheesville, Chris Dukes started writing music and singing at an early age. In order to record his music and ideas as he heard them, Chris became proficient at playing various instruments. Over time, Chris molded his original writing style into songs filled with catchy hooks, poignant lyrics and creative counter-melodies as heard in his new album, “Greater Than Me.”
Over the years Chris has had the pleasure of playing alongside a very talented cast of musicians. His present band is made up of new and old friends, and according to Chris, is “his most exiting line up yet.” Chris and his band regularly perform in clubs and theaters across the northeast.

Chris Dukes has sung on various corporate songs and commercials for companies like General Electric, Kodak, F.Y.E., and “The Home Depot Anthem.”
Chris is drawn to anything containing melody and harmony. His musical influences range through a broad spectrum which is clearly noticeable in his songs. One can sense the emotion and feeling in his voice. His singing, vocal styling, and delivery in “Greater Than Me” is the definitive statement of what real music is.
