Aarik Duncan is a singer-songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist from Raleigh, best known as a member of the R&B/soul band NiiTO.

“Aarik Duncan has made a name for himself as a member of one of the Triangle’s most prolific live acts, NiiTO, known for their genre-bending, soulful sounds. I Like Myself finds Duncan striking out on his own and leaning heavier into the world of modern pop and R&B with unsurprisingly excellent results. Duncan’s voice takes center stage on a record that’s full of incredible production work. There’s crisp bass, snappy percussion, and shimmery guitars, but it’s hard to overshadow the vibrato-laden vocals so full of passion. Album opener “LoNeR” is an unapologetic ode to solitude, “RunAway” could serve as a lesson in how to build harmony, and tracks like “PSYCHOsis” and “FoUNd” boast melodies that linger in your ears for days. Duncan’s solo work is just as impressive as his work with NiiTO, but adds a refreshing new flavor to the mix, flexing his already spectacular set of musical abilities.” – Grant Golden, CLTure
