Duncan Laurence is much more than just a televised show, Duncan Laurence is a global artist, a musician since he first started out on the piano as a kid. As he explained: “I grew up in a town where music was a stranger. Music had no part in the regular school system. But that couldn’t keep me from making music. Somehow I was drawn to its magical ways to express myself and tell my own story. We had a small local theatre and an old music school. I played the piano every single day, wrote my own songs and poems. I remember that time as if it was yesterday. I was certain: I was going to be a musician.”
“I’m always inspired by stories that move me, real personal experiences from my own life or someone else’s. “Arcade” was inspired by the story of someone I loved deeply, who died at a young age. The words, chords and melodies came to me automatically as if they fell from the sky.”
“Since ‘Arcade’ I’ve written many songs, but somehow ‘Arcade’ feels like the centre of all of them. It started my journey to want to write songs that can really mean something to people. My career thus far has mainly been behind the scenes writing for other artists and defining my own sound. It feels good to now step into the light and share my story. I want to reach out to people with my music, possibly even help them. ‘Arcade’ is a word of advice to myself and who knows…maybe it helps someone, somewhere…I truly hope so.”
