About Me


Adam Duncan (b 1979) has been pursuing music since he was 6 years old. Since receiving a B.A. Honours degree in composition from Ottawa University, he has published 3 books, and written many articles by request. As a multi-instrumentalist, his passion for learning and music led him to Indian Classical music (ICM), and his Guru Ustad Shahid Parvez Khan. Since meeting his Guru, Adam has combined the elements of ICM and jazz in his guitar playing to create a fresh, new sound among the World Fusion groups.
