Raised in regional NSW on beautiful Gamilaroi country, Duke Box Bailey has clocked up almost 10years industry experience. From the early days of bedroom recordings to state of the art studios at Gadigal Studios in Syd. It's safe to say Duke has had his fair share of Mic checks.

 Proudly acknowledging his Aboriginal (Birri Gubba) and South Sea Islander (Tanna Islands) heritage, he is a dedicated community man with a passion for empowering the future generations. 

From facilitating workshops in outback communities in NSW & WA, to appearances at festivals ranging from Yabun (NSW), Tjungu (NT) and Woodford Folk(QLD) to name a few.

Duke was selected as one of 3 winners for the Gadigal Emerging Indigenous Artists Grant 2011, which saw the release of his debut solo EP What's in the Box. This lead to appearances on SBS's Living Black and track features on Move It Mob Style, with a plethora of exciting opportunities to follow. 
In 2013 he signed with Brisbane based label Impossible Odds Records for the release of his follow up LP Big Kitty Life. Due to personal reasons the album release was postponed for almost a year as Duke decided it was time to a break from music. After almost 2 years on the back burner, Duke emerged back on the scene ready as ever with some live shows to brush the dust off his hi-tops. Currently working on a brand new album set for release mid 2017, you can expect nothing but fire from this brotha.
