Jared Leonardo Lee[1] (born May 13, 1989), better known by his stage name Duckwrth (pronounced "duckworth" and stylized in all caps), is an American rapper, singer, record producer, songwriter, and artist.
Early life
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
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]
