About 'DUCE - The Songwriter'

"I am an artist.
I paint with words and music.
My canvas is the human condition.
That's who I am."

"I am a songwriter.
That's what I do."

"A work of art starts to have a life of its own when the artist begins to let it go.
A new project begins to exist when its creator privileges it over his own ego."
"The human heart is attuned to love, and it cannot withstand its power in the long run."
"Is this really such a sacrifice after all?"
 
 
For 'DUCE':
"Songwriting is his way of expressing what's in his heart, mind, and soul!"
 
 
For 'DUCE':
"Songwriting is a 'reflex', not a choice!"
 
 
For 'DUCE':
"Connecting emotionally with his listener is Duce's main goal!"
 
 
From 'DUCE':
"Every song I write has my heart in the words and my soul in the music!"
 
 
"Gary (DUCE) Dussiaume is no longer a performing/gigging artist. He is now: DUCE - The Songwriter." He writes original songs and then records, arranges and produces his own demos in his own studio. His songs are then licensed to singers/artists, producers and publishers. This is what Gary (DUCE) Dussiaume does for a living. He is one of a few songwriters who actually lives off of his creative work.
 
 
"Songwriting is Duce's only job!"

Although DUCE considers himself a songwriter; a "tunesmith". He is in fact a quadruple threat. He is a multi-talented instrumentalist (guitars and keyboards). A trained vocalist and front-man. A sought-after producer/arranger. A PC-based recording specialist. In fact, his last album, 'TaKaru' was entirely composed on a Mac! And he also writes his songs in both english and french!
 
He has performed both as a solo artist and as a front-man for several groups. He has toured and performed in many parts of Canada and Europe, including France (Nice, the French Riviera and Paris), Corsica, Italy, Germany and Switzerland.
 
DUCE's songwriting specialty is 'lyrics'. He is able to capture in lyrical form, the emotions that one encounters in life. His songs always capture one particular 'frozen moment' in time. It just happens to be couched in melody and rhyme.
 
"DUCE is music to fall in love by!"
 
Incurably romantic, and equally mysterious, DUCE is the romantic that paints pictures with words. Each stroke is a romantic etching on the imagination of the listener.
 
DUCE always strives to describe through very graphical imagery, the transformation of a passionate 'frozen moment' to an intimate 'frozen moment'. Both are "frozen in time" and may never appear again - but can always be experienced again and again, through the imagination of the listener.
 
DUCE believes that intimacy and relevance are essential between the listener and the songwriter. That is why people identify with DUCE's music - no matter who sings it! DUCE's goal is to have the listener caressed by the music, then motivated by the words to call upon experiences, feelings and imagination in order to make the song their own.
 
"The DUCE experience is unique!"
 
"The DUCE experience is musically and lyrically intense!"
