Duvall

Where does group success stop and individual merit begin? How do you compromise on musical vision without losing a bit of yourself in the process? Is such a thing even possible? These questions seem especially insightful when directed at someone like Nathan Vincent Duvall (Duvall), a creator who’s had to consciously choose between major success as part of Disciples and making waves as a producer in his own right. This is his story, and it’s definitely one worth telling. By signing with Armada Music, Duvall has chosen creative freedom. His influences perfectly describe the way he bounces around production, artistry and performances: Diplo because of his can-do attitude, Pharrell Williams because of his ability to reinvent himself and the artists he works with, Calvin Harris because of his service to electronic and Quincy Jones for seeing something special in MJ, nurturing his talent and making timeless music. It’s in here that we find the artist Duvall wants to be, as well as his dream of combining his love for hip-hop, R&B and pop with the house sound that made his eyes light up so many years ago.
