Duñe

Singer, DJ, and producer, Duñe is a multifaceted artist continually refining his musical identity through each project he releases. Initially embracing indie electro influences, Duñe quickly delved into soul and indie pop for his debut album Hundred Fifty Roses (2020), co-produced with Crayon. This album marked a pivotal moment in Duñe’s career as he not only co-produced every track but also took on vocal duties. The project served as a platform for Duñe to establish his first significant collaborations with FKJ (as a producer), Ichon, Aurélie Saada, and Swing to name a few. In the subsequent years, Duñe’s collaborations have multiplied with noted names such as Angèle, Ehla, and Vendredi sur Mer. Simultaneously, Duñe has gravitated towards a more personal sound for his own project, integrating hip hop and R&B influences, that we can recognize in Darius’ songs 'Feels Right' and 'Rise'. In 2024, Duñe's released “Better Never Than Late”, an EP influenced by North American pop, hip hop, and R&B. The release comes with an impactful artistic direction curated by Jason Yan Francis (known for his work with Major Lazer, Travis Scott, and others), who produced the videoclip for “Think About You”. Throughout the year, Duñe has forged a distinct sonic identity not only as a producer but also as a singer. This fresh identity led him to release an acoustic version of the EP, in collaboration with the producer Thomas Rasoanaivo and the guitarist Alexandre Grolée, who brought a more instrumental and organic touch to the project. Besides, Duñe had toured alongside Darius for several American tours where he performed at the Knockdown Center in New York, the Antiguo Hotel Reforma in Mexico City or the Bellwether in Los Angeles to name a few.
