State Correspondent
Born on October 28, 1983 in Obio Akpor, Rivers, Duncan Wene Mighty Okechukwu, better known as Duncan Mighty, is a prominent Nigerian musician, singer, and music producer hailing from Eligbam in Rumueme obio apkor LGA Rivers state.
Aside from his musical pursuits, Duncan Mighty is also the proud founder of JamBase Cable Tv station in Port Harcourt and runs his own construction company. His musical style encompasses reggae, African R&B, and hip hop.
Education-wise, Duncan Mighty attended the Army Children school G.R.A Port Harcourt and Army day secondary school Boring Camp Port Harcourt for his primary and secondary education. He then pursued a degree in Civil Engineering at the University of Port Harcourt. Despite his success in the music industry, he continues to work as an engineer in his construction company when he is not focused on his music.
Duncan Mighty is currently married to Vivien Mighty and they have been blessed with three beautiful children.
Music has always been a passion for Duncan Mighty. As a young boy, he possessed exceptional talent as an instrumentalist, particularly playing the drums in church. He even took on the roles of choir director and vocal coach.
In order to further develop his skills and knowledge in music, Duncan Mighty traveled abroad to study audio engineering at Basel University in Switzerland. Upon his return, he served as a sound instructor for the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) at Benson and Hedges in Lagos. Additionally, he worked as a sound engineer at Dolphin Studios at the Muson Centre in Lagos.
After completing his service year, Duncan Mighty remained in Lagos to work with sound production companies, allowing him to gain practical experience and master recording and sound production techniques. After six years, he made the decision to return to his hometown of Port Harcourt.
In Port Harcourt, Duncan Mighty started his career as a sound engineer at D Large Records and 360 Records. He later formed AireMighty Records in partnership with Chris Aire, a renowned celebrity jeweler.
In 2008, Duncan Mighty released his debut studio album, “Koliwater,” which included popular tracks such as “Ijeoma,” “Scatter My Dada,” “Dance For Me,” and “Ako Na Uche.” The success of this album propelled him to begin working on his second album, “Ahamefuna (Legacy),” which was released in the second quarter of 2010. For this album, he chose to produce it independently without any featured artists or guest appearances.
One of Duncan Mighty’s notable successes came from his collaboration with Mr Raw on the track “Unu Ge Gbum Madu Ft Nigga Raw.” The song tackles recurring societal issues faced in Nigeria and sheds light on the government’s indifference towards the welfare of its citizens.
In a recent interview with BBC News Igbo on September 23, 2021, Duncan Mighty proudly expressed his Igbo heritage, which has been ingrained in him since childhood. He emphasized that both he and his parents take immense pride in their Ikwerre Igbo roots.
For those who question or criticize me for referring to Duncan Mighty as an Igbo, he has declared himself as an Igbo man from Ikwerre and has embraced his heritage. Therefore, if you are a Benin from Ikwerre, speak for yourself.
On a related note, Duncan Mighty is thrilled that his son has joined Manchester City’s youth academy, showcasing his happiness as an Igbo international singer.
