Clarksdale Mississippi native Duane Scott started out in a group called Neutral, but eventually struck out on his own.

 He released his debut CD, New Luv, in 2004. Since then, he has been touring around the country, honing his skills as a performer. He recently released his sophomore CD Sycamore and Riley, named after the neighborhood where he grew up, on which he pays homage to his past and sings about his life experiences.
