Early life
[edit]Lee was born in South Central Los Angeles on May 13, 1989.[2] He grew up in a Christian household, always surrounded by music. Before going into music, Duckwrth studied graphic design in college. He appeared in several TeamBackpack cyphers on the YouTube channel World Emcee.[3]
Career
[edit]In the mid-2010s, Lee began releasing his own songs online under the Duckwrth moniker and expanded his audience when he collaborated and released a split project with The Kickdrums in 2015 titled Nowhere.[4][5] In 2016, Duckwrth released his first full-length album, I'm Uugly.[6][7][8][9][10] In late 2017, he released a mixtape, An XTRA UUGLY Mixtape, being his first record with Republic Records.[11] His single "Start a Riot" was featured in the 2018 film Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. His song "MICHUUL." was featured in the HBO series Insecure and the CW series All American.[10] In 2019, he released the EP The Falling Man and released his major label debut album on Republic, SuperGood, in 2020.[10] Following the release of SuperGood, he released his following two EPs, 2021's SG8*, a project with a look at the present time and soundscapes[12] and 2022's Chrome Bull, a more dance oriented project,[13] under his own imprint, SuperGood Creative Studios.[14][15]
