In conversation with Frank Dukes
If you happened to turn on a radio or stream any popular music over the last decade there is a good chance you have heard the work of producer/songwriter Adam Feeney (aka Frank Dukes).
If you happened to turn on a radio or stream any popular music over the last decade there is a good chance you have heard the work of producer/songwriter Adam Feeney (aka Frank Dukes). Since landing his first major label placement in 2008, he’s quietly become one of the most accomplished and in-demand multi-genre producers in history.
Alongside collaborators like BADBADNOTGOOD and others, Dukes is part of a Toronto multiverse crafting hits for some of today’s biggest hip-hop and pop stars. As the architect behind chart-topping anthems by Drake, Post Malone, The Weeknd, Cardi B, Frank Ocean, Camila Cabello, Lorde and many more, he’s won numerous awards (including Songwriter of the Year at the 2019 Juno Awards), and established the Kingsway Music Library, a collection of original samples composed by Dukes and made available to purchase. Last year he also teamed up with the students of Toronto’s Regent Park School of Music to create a sample pack with proceeds going to supporting music education (one of those collaborations even ended up on Taylor Swift’s album Lover).
Moderating the conversation is co-Founder at The Remix Project & Quiet As Kept Agency + Founder of Public Records Inc, Gavin Sheppard.
