Inspired by his African roots, Duguneh established a music style in which he blends African sounds into electronic dance music.[3][2]

Musical career

In July 2018, he released the single “Sufre” together with the Venezuelan singer-songwriter Emy Perez (former backing vocalist of Shakira[4]). It was nationally premiered on the Dutch SLAM! (radio station). Sufre entered the Spotify Viral 50 Charts of The Netherlands at #23 and peaked at #10.[5] In November 2018, Sufre was used by The Voice of Holland, a Dutch reality television competition that Emy Perez was part of in 2013.[6][1]

In August 2019, the single “Milky Way” released. A collaboration with singer-songwriter Abi F Jones (UK) and rapper Jay Fonseca (NL). On his social media channels, Duguneh described the song as an experiment to unite African, Western and Latin music in one song.

Later that year, Duguneh collaborated with multi-platinum rapper Savage (rapper) from New Zealand. Their single “Fire” released in May 2020.[7][8]

In June 2020, the single “Take Back Your Life” with the Congolese-Swedish singer-songwriter Mohombi (who is better known for his single Bumpy Ride) released. In an interview with Dagblad van het Noorden, Duguneh said: “We made this song to remind people to embrace the good in life and celebrate it. It's that happy, positive song that gives people something to smile – and dance – about.”.[1][9][10] The song was tipped by the Dutch Top 40 on the 3rd of July 2020.[11]
