Often, people see misfortunes as hindrances to one’s pursuit of success. However, these individuals fail to realize that some people display these unfortunate tribulations as badges of honor while climbing towards the peak of victory. One such brave person who used his unfortunate experience as an ultimate propeller towards success is Kristian Duncan.
Kristian Duncan has had his fair share of ups and downs for a person whose path is filled with vigor and noble pursuits. As a matter of fact, there was a time in his life when he sailed through stormy seas. And as a human being, this circumstance pushed him over the edge, and it took him some time to get his feet back to solid ground. Although it may seem that there was no hope for Kristian, he eventually found hope and redirected his energy towards positivity. By the time he was able to see things from another perspective, Kristian had thought it best to become a beacon of hope for those similarly-situated individuals who are struggling in life.
But before the effects of depression and anxiety threatened Kristian Duncan, he once lived a full and ecstatic life while sharing his voice for the world to see. Inspired by watching Bobby Jones on the gospel channel, Kristian served the Church as part of the choir. This was the time that he developed his newfound passion for music. As he continued to explore rhythm and understand musical notes, he expanded his interests in the craft by listening to various music genres. His particular favorites were New Edition, Ready For The World, H-Town, Jon B, Jodeci, and Keith Sweat.
With a blend of passion and unsurpassable determination, Kristian Duncan pursued a career in music. He began his steps by working and performing with an R&B group. And although the group disbanded after quite some time, Kristian did not give up on music. Determined to create a career out of the complicated trade, he began to work behind the scenes. Kristian worked as a promoter; he booked shows for artists, promoted night clubs, and provided radio publicity for musicians such as Soul For Real, H-Town, Jon B, CeCe Peniston, and Troy Ave.
However, Kristian Duncan’s pursuit of success was everything he could have hoped but a picnic in the park. If anything, his journey was one that was inundated with countless hurdles such as personal pain, negative energy, spiraling episodes, and many more. However, these challenging moments were greeted with a light at the end of the tunnel that ultimately turned Kristian’s life around. And that light was his fiancee, Sharon.
Now, as an R&B artist independently working with his own label, Duncan Group, he wants to inspire those who are suffering from depression and anxiety through the music he creates. Kristian has released his debut singles entitled “Success” and “Andale,” and a Music Video for Success, a masterpiece dedicated to Sharon.
As Kristian Duncan has attempted to rise above his dark past, he encourages everyone suffering from personal pain to be brave and never lose hope. With his music’s increasing popularity, Kristian hopes to reach more people around the world.
