Duwende consists of J. Aaron Boykin (Baritone/Tenor), Derrick L. Hicks (Tenor), Abbey Janes (Soprano), Tomas Cruz (Tenor), Edward Chung (Vocal Percussion), and David Lane (Bass). Each member adds their own characteristics and talent to the group, giving them the “a cappella” credibility along with the “band” persona. Duwende is the perfect band to get you dancing, as The Contemporary A Cappella Society states, “These guys (and gal) know how to make music, and they know how to make their audiences get up on their feet and move. If you’re looking for a true a cappella original, you don’t have to look any further than Duwende.”
Duwende’s music has made avid fans of tastemakers Jermaine Dupri and Perez Hilton and earned them multiple Contemporary A Cappella Recording Awards for Best Pop/Rock Album and Best Pop/Rock Original Song.
