QUICK BIO

Grant is a singer-song-writer based in Auckland, New Zealand.

Grant has completed his first CD since returning to NZ in May 2008. The album is entitled ON THE CITY FRINGE and was recorded and mixed at Eden Road Studios in Auckland. Release date is October 30 2008 and available via his website and amiestreet.com.

Grant began flexing his song-writing arm upon arriving in the sky-scraping, neon-lighted madness of Tokyo in March 2004. Initially material was written as a vehicle for the 3-piece Pavement Candy to perform on the live Tokyo live curcuit in 2004-5, but gradually the writing and recording developed into a solo abode, and Duncan began recording a number of solo albums at his home studio in 2006 with the help of Pavement Candy drummer David Jackson on backing vocals.

"Sixties rock is not dead. It’s been resurrected and dirtied up little in the music of Grant Duncan. Songs anchored in Jimi-esque guitar licks and poppy chord progressions dominate this retro landscape. Don’t expect any note-for-note imitations, though. Duncan is his own man."
