Born in the global melting pot of Queens, N.Y., Dwayne Dugger II is a saxophonist, pianist, composer, vocalist, and film producer. Dugger’s relationship with music began at the tender age of 9 when his parents enrolled him in piano lessons. Quickly developing a passion for the art form, Dwayne began playing in the church that same year. At age 13, he picked up the saxophone and became a member of his high school band. Dwayne earned his B.A. in Music from Morehouse College with a concentration in sax performance and a master’s in jazz studies from Georgia State University. In 2003, Dwayne became one of the founding members of the ATL based band Jaspects, releasing projects while gaining a formidable cult following. For the past 10 years, Dwayne has toured the world performing with Major Recording Artists, PJ Morton, Angie Stone and Bruno Mars. Combining his love for both music and cinema, Dugger founded Black Sol Creatives in 2016.
