Duncan Paul

Duncan is a Maltese musician and songwriter who has played and recorded across Europe.

Having learned to play guitar at the age of 7, he grew up listening to his father’s Vangelis and Jean Michelle Jarre albums, moving on to learning keyboards at the age of 12, and by 14 he was writing and recoding his own songs. Duncan’s first public appearances came at the age of 16, first playing at weddings and then entertaining tourists at restaurants and hotels across the island of Malta. Aged 24, and now into bands such as Nirvana, Soundgarden and Metallica, he debuted at the famous Farsons Beer Festival ('Malta's Glastonbury') as a young rock god.

Gradually Duncan’s musical tastes widened to include artists such as Santana, Joe Satriani, Eagles, Eric Clapton, Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd, and he developed an interest in recording, obtaining a diploma from the Audio Institute of America.

But Malta is a small island, and Duncan decided to spread his wings and make a move to Belgium. There he worked with various bands and musicians, playing every kind of music from country to blues and rock, at venues across the country and as far afield as France, Germany, Holland, and Luxembourg. He formed the band Silver Wings with Dominique De Caigny, whilst also setting up his own studio and beginning to concentrate on his own music.

Three albums later, Duncan returned to the land of his birth and has picked up where he began, playing in bars, restaurants and hotels around the island, which is where you may have first heard him - but who knew what lays beneath.

As a truly talented musician, even when he is performing covers of other people’s songs, the music you hear backing his extraordinary guitar playing has been recorded by Duncan in his own studio, with not a download in sight.

Now the time has come for Duncan to begin his next musical journey and share his own material once again.
