His deep, sultry singing voice is perfect for rock ballads. The songs are terrific.<\/p>\n<p>I asked Nickey Duke about the song <em>Lying\u2019<\/em>: \u201cThe song is about relationships, turmoil, lying, deceit, alcohol and break ups. A lot of times I write in the third person. It helps me feel what other people might be going through. This song was written in the third person, but I can feel the angst.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The single <em>Our Time Shall Come<\/em> is also written about a relationship. This time, there\u2019s a true back story: \u201cThis is a very funny story. I was out in the middle of northern California on a large piece of land in a Timbuktu type of town. I was in a corner store one day, and this rock star girl walks in, dressed to the nines. I walked up and talked to her. She didn\u2019t have a man and she had a place nearby, so I asked if we could hang out sometime. She said yes, but she didn\u2019t give me her phone number.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Already, I could see how Nickey\u2019s story was gonna end. Here\u2019s what happened: \u201cI was writing for a different project at the time. That\u2019s what I was doing in northern California. I pulled out my guitar and wrote a song. I found out where she lived and went to her house. I knocked on the door, and I told her that I was a professional musician and songwriter. I told her that I wrote her a song, and I asked if I could play it for her. She said yes and came out on the porch. I started playing for her; I got down all crazy style. After I\u2019m done, there\u2019s this long, awkward silence. She said thank you, and that was it. I drove off and never saw her again.\u201d Luckily for Nickey Duke, he found lots of other situations to play that song and it worked like a charm.<\/p>\n<p>Both songs were produced by veteran California record producer Gary Gray. Since the songs are so successful, I asked Nickey Duke what he looks for in a music producer: \u201cOne thing you need to look for is a producer who knows how to play instruments. The more instruments that producer can play, the better chance you have of getting your ideas and concepts out of your head and into and into the producer\u2019s mind and manifesting into the song. A lot of producers can play keyboards and instruments on keyboards, but when you have a producer who knows the fundamentals of playing multiple instruments, it really helps.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-3517\" src=\"http:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Nickey-Duke-and-dog-225x182.jpg\" alt=\"Nickey Duke and dog\" width=\"225\" height=\"182\" srcset=\"https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Nickey-Duke-and-dog-225x182.jpg 225w, https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Nickey-Duke-and-dog-225x182-222x180.jpg 222w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/>Nickey Duke has an interesting back story: \u201cI was born with no hearing, and I learned everything off my vision. I was deaf until about three and a half, when I had surgery. I did not hear clearly for another year. I still remember the first bird that I heard. I had no idea that animals made those types of noises. From that point forward, I could lose myself in the chords. If I heard three or four chords, I could manipulate them and change them and play them for hours. I wrote songs all the time about peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, recess, hop scotch. I could write a song about anything. I\u2019ve loved writing music for as far back as I can remember.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Nickey\u2019s love for music extends to multiple musical instruments: saxophone, piano and guitar. According to Nikey Duke, \u201cIf it makes noise, I can learn how to play it, but I\u2019m trained on those instruments. I took lessons in school. I\u2019ll never forget my music teacher, Mr. Alvaro. Being a musician is a lot of work. You have to make time and put the work in. If you don\u2019t have the commitment to practice, then you\u2019ll never be a professional. \u201d<\/p>\n<p>In addition to Nikey Duke\u2019s commitment to practicing his craft, he advises other musicians: \u201cExpress yourself without reserve. If you\u2019re constantly thinking about what other people think about your music, it puts you inside a box. Music is like dancing. If you\u2019re constantly thinking about the person next to you watching you dance, then you feel goofy. If you let your music flow through you like a channel and let your body do the moving, then every move is perfect. It\u2019s the same with creating music. When you feel it, you have to let it out and go with it. If you are worried about what other people are going to think, then it hinders the expression and it gives you less of a chance to make it.\u201d Well said, Nickey Duke!<\/p>\n<p>Nickey Duke is working on a new album with Gary Gray. He\u2019s practicing and writing music every day: \u201cI have a practice studio. I don\u2019t want to infringe on other people. I\u2019m practicing, practicing, practicing, practicing. I practice three times a day. I\u2019m also trying to eat right. I\u2019m running. We\u2019re expecting to do some pretty big things with this next album.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The new project does not have a title yet or a release date. I don\u2019t know about you, but I can\u2019t wait!<\/p>\n<p>The Amused Now Featured Artist Series<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-3518\" src=\"http:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Nickey-Duke-Big-Guns-225x225.jpg\" alt=\"Nickey Duke Big Guns\" width=\"225\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Nickey-Duke-Big-Guns-225x225.jpg 225w, https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Nickey-Duke-Big-Guns-225x225-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Nickey-Duke-Big-Guns-225x225-38x38.jpg 38w, https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Nickey-Duke-Big-Guns-225x225-186x186.jpg 186w, https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Nickey-Duke-Big-Guns-225x225-184x184.jpg 184w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/>Nikey Duke<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/profile.php?id=100001067547845\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCAVelRIe3BsDYHBrGpV3JHg\" target=\"_blank\">YouTube<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Cynthia Kahn, Founder of Amused Now<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/Amused_Now\" target=\"_blank\">@Amused_Now<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/AmusedNow\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/plus.google.com\/106372266016264510992\/about\" target=\"_blank\">Google+<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/amusednow\" target=\"_blank\">YouTube<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/amused-now\/id916561789\" target=\"_blank\">iTunes<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Singer-songwriter Nikey Duke recently released two hit singles: Lyin\u2019 and Our Time Shall Come.
