Zo Duncan Is Becoming More Popular In The Music Industry

Alonzo Duncan is an entrepreneur and songwriter from Detroit, Mi. Writing came natural to him so he began his career as a poet. He started writing poetry in high school as a hobby but it later blossomed into something more. A few years after high school, he released 2 self-published books of poems and short stories. Bridging off his success writing poems, he began writing songs. In 2017, he left his hometown to move to Los Angeles, CA to further his career. Although he no longer lives in Detroit, he still has roots there.

Mostly known as Zo, Alonzo Duncan, —born November 26, in Detroit, MI, started off as a poet. He spent most of his early adulthood writing poems and stories. After the release of his 2nd book, his focus shifted, and he began to branch into other things. His list of accomplishments varies vastly from being a published author, to creating, designing, and publishing a board game. Although he hadn’t narrowed down what he wanted to do with life yet, he knew he wanted to be a creator.

In 2012, he had a discussion with a close relative about her singing ability and his skills as a writer. He came up with the proposal that if he wrote a song, she would have to sing it. Shortly after, he began writing his first song, “You Say You Love Me”. Although his relative didn’t keep up her end of the deal, this moment led to his journey into the music industry. Zo kept writing music from that day on. Today he is one of the most dedicated and versatile songwriters with projects ranging from Damage, an episodic music video that tells the story of a woman assaulted at a bar, to She’s The One, a country song.

Kyle Ashen’s sun-drenched recollection with new release “That Local Girl”

Kyle Ashen’s latest release, “That Local Girl,” is a gorgeous trip down memory lane, a country single that explores that golden glow of memory, like flipping through old photographs touched by salt air and summer sunlight. It’s warm, cinematic, and deeply relatable, a song about the kind of love story that never quite goes away, even as time moves on.

“That Local Girl” is filled with imagery that quickly takes the listener into a world they can walk right into. You got a blonde-haired, blue-eyed girl on a boardwalk street by the ocean, a souped-up truck driving through town, neon lights reflecting off the ocean breeze, and the electric innocence of young love burning in the background.

But under all that cutesy trapping is something more than that, longing. Some people, some places that leave permanent marks on Kyle Ashen and us know that. What’s so brilliant about this song is that it marries those two ideas, making love and hometown memory feel beautifully inseparable. Sometimes you miss a person. And with that person, you miss an entire version of life. “That Local Girl” is more than a country love song from Kyle Ashen. He is a living postcard from the past, sun-faded, bittersweet, and glowing with feeling. A reminder that summers pass by, but some memories stay with us forever.
