Duke Kerr

Duke was born on 26/02/1967 in Walsall, West Midlands in the UK. He was brought up in a christian home, attending church from birth. Praise and Worship was an integral part of the local Pentecostal church. He started teaching himself piano when he was 11 years old after my eldest brother brought one home and 3 years later got the opportunity to start playing at church. His song writing was inspired by his eldest brother who had written songs for the choir “Re:Mission” that led to their first vinyl recording in 1979 entitled “God's Got A Blessing For You”.

In 1990, his first recorded song entitled “A Change is Coming” was the title track of the choir's second album produced at the ICC studio in Eastbourne.

In 1995, Duke wrote the song “It Is To You” for the choir's third album entitled “Melody Of The Heart” which was recorded live at their local church in Walsall.

In general, the songs he has written, as with “It Is To You” can be described as intimate heartfelt songs purposefully directed to God that draw you into his presence.

Currently Duke continues to be a part of the worship team at the church but with a new passion/mission of empowering and teaching young people to play music their churches.
