Duff's clear tenor voice, which echoes those of Chris Martin, Jeff Buckley, and Hank Williams, always walks the strongest melodic path through his inventive, hooky pop rock songs.

Born in New York City, Duff grew up singing in church choirs before discovering rock guitar in his teens. After college he studied songwriting with Mark Barkan, who penned tunes for Elvis, Sonny and Cher, and Rod Stewart. Duff performed as a solo artist and session musician in Manhattan before moving to California in 2000.

Duff has toured over 20,000 miles in the last few years as a bandleader and sideman (Rich McCulley Band, Single), produced recordings by several indie acts, and emerged as a strong co-writer (Rich McCulley, Carlett) in the rock, pop, and r&b genres.
