Career

In the mid-2010s, Duckwrth 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.[3][4] In 2016, Duckwrth released his first full-length album, I'm Uugly.[5][6][7][8][9] In late 2017, he released a mixtape, An XTRA UUGLY Mixtape, being his first record with Republic Records.[10] 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.[9] In 2019, he released the EP The Falling Man and released his major label debut album on Republic, SuperGood, in 2020.[9] Following the release of SuperGood, he would release his next two EPs, 2021's SG8*, a project with a look at the present time and soundscapes[11] and 2022's Chrome Bull, a more dance oriented project,[12] under his own imprint, SuperGood Creative Studios.
