Duki has transformed the landscape of Argentine trap music and is now set to make his mark in the United States with his first-ever tour across the country. In an exclusive interview with Billboard, Duki opens up about his creative process, the evolution of his sound, and what fans can expect from his upcoming performances.
The 25-year-old artist has been making waves in the Latin music scene for years, pushing the boundaries of traditional trap beats and lyrics to create a unique style that resonates deeply with his audience. His latest project, “Ameri,” marks a significant departure from his earlier work, showcasing a more experimental approach to production and an increased focus on storytelling through his lyrics.
Billboard: You’ve had an incredible run as one of the most influential figures in Argentine trap music. With your new album ‘Ameri’ and upcoming U.S. tour, what’s been the driving force behind these creative decisions?
Duki: Honestly, I wanted to challenge myself and try new things. The “Ameri” project is a reflection of my growth as an artist and my desire to push the limits of what people expect from me.
Billboard: How do you approach creating music that resonates with such a broad audience? Your previous work has been incredibly successful in Argentina, but this album seems like a deliberate attempt to expand your horizons.
Duki: I’ve always believed in the importance of authenticity. As an artist, it’s essential to stay true to yourself while also being open to new experiences and perspectives. The ‘Ameri’ album is my way of embracing that philosophy, exploring themes that are universal and relatable, yet still deeply rooted in my Argentine heritage.
Billboard: Your U.S. tour marks a significant milestone for you as an artist. What can fans expect from these shows?
Duki: I want to bring the same energy and passion to every single show on this tour. My goal is to create an immersive experience that transcends borders, languages, and cultures. People should be prepared for a high-energy performance, with visuals and production that will transport them to another world.
Billboard: You’ve spoken about your desire to collaborate with international artists in the future. Any exciting projects or collaborations on the horizon?
Duki: That’s definitely something I’m actively working on. I’m committed to fostering meaningful connections with creatives from around the world who share my vision for innovative music that breaks barriers and inspires. As of now, I’m exploring some new opportunities, but nothing is confirmed just yet.
Billboard: Lastly, what advice do you have for aspiring artists looking to make their mark in the music industry?
Duki: Be true to yourself and don’t be afraid to take risks. The most memorable experiences come from stepping outside your comfort zone and embracing uncertainty.
