Biography of Dujon

Dujon Walker was born on May 26th, 1987 in Toronto, Canada. Being influenced by a musical family, Dujon started learning music at an early age. By the time he was 12, the straight-A student was singing in the school choir and playing the clarinet, as well as the keyboard. At 13, he started writing lyrics to hip hop beats and recording himself on his computer. Soon after, he started making his own beats with a MIDI keyboard and computer software, taking his influences, like the Neptunes and A Tribe Called Quest, and using them to shape his own sound.

By the time he graduated from high school, Dujon had already performed live at venues around Toronto, garnered local radio play, and had offers to sign with several independent record companies. But despite all of his achievements in music so far, Dujon chose to pursue a career in computer science instead. It was while he was in college that Dujon received a harsh reality check. His mother was diagnosed with a particularly deadly form cancer and did not have much longer to live. "It made me realize that you only get one life and you have to spend it doing what you love", said the rapper. And with that, he changed courses and earned his diploma in audio engineering and music production.

With his new found knowledge, Dujon went to work on his first release, enlisting the likes of platinum award winning producer, Darius Szczepaniak (Sum 41, Fefe Dobson, Choclair) to help him out. His 5-song EP entitled "Success" was released January 5th, 2010, just over a year after the death of his mother. Here is what Billboard Discoveries had to say about the effort: "Dujon offers a fine balance between the expected elements of hip-hop, attention to melody--which is missing from so much of modern rap fare--and enough humor to temper the rough and tumble variables of the genre. And youth is also on his side. Dujon sounds ready to evolve into the main course."

The 23-year-old artist is currently studying music at Miami Dade College in Miami, Florida. If that wasn't enough, Dujon is also CEO of DigitalHeart Beats, a recording studio and production company established in 2008. After 10 years of honing his craft, Dujon has finally created a original album that is the culmination of where he's been and where he's going, and one that is sure to win him the notoriety demanded by the depth and quality of his songs. You can find "Success" on iTunes, Amazon, and all major online music stores now.
