Gentle, inviting, loving are all monikers associated with the warm and soothing voice of Duawne Starling. Anyone who has heard his voice has without a doubt heard the voice of love.

Having propelled artists such as Donnie McClurkin, Fred Hammond, Albertina Walker, The Winans Family, Bishop T.D. Jakes and Kirk Franklin to the top of the charts, Duawne has built quite an impressive roster of celebrities singing his praises. However the praise he honors the most is the praise of his wife. Grateful to have found his rib, Duawne wrote a ballad entitled “Finally I” for his wife a month after they were married to show his love and appreciation for the gift God blessed him with. This song is a favorite among his fans as it is featured on the Harborwood Records release With This Ring…Forever I Do” compilation. Duawne is also featured as a singer and songwriter on other Harborwood Record releases such as Worship In His Presence, Songs For the Soul and With This Ring, Vol. I, of which he wrote the title song.

Recently signed to independent gospel label, Gospel, Incorporated, Duawne is currently working on his much anticipated debut album. With songs of honesty, hope and encouragement such as “There”, “Free” and “I Can Do This” this album promises to be nothing short of Duawne giving the power of love through the voice that God has anointed him with and his desire to share it with as many as will receive it. “This project will allow me to be who I am. It will allow my audience to really capture Duawne and see, hear and experience the love of Christ in my life,” states Duawne. “Having worked on so many projects with a variety of artists, I believe Duawne got a little lost in the shuffle. I want people to receive me and the Spirit of Christ that dwells within me. I want to be known as an artist without compromise when it comes to the values of Christ.”
