Duncan is interviewed in the Sunday USA Today Weekend insert that appears in
many local papers across the country. I read it from the insert in the Boston
Globe today. (Page 12 of the USA Today Insert in the Boston Globe, or your local
newspaper that carries the USA Today Weekend)
The article reveals that "While at Brown University, Sheik and classmate Tracee
Ellis Ross-Diana Ross' daughter-recorded a track together in the summer of '92.
Tracee gave the track to her mom's entertainment lawyer. Six months later, Sheik
had a record deal. Then his catchy song "Barely Breathing" made him a pop star."
The article goes on at length to discuss the new album, the reception it is
getting, and Duncan as a praticing Buddhist.
Tracee Ellis Ross (by the way) had a show on Lifetime that aired Friday nights
and she had Duncan on one. Does anyone remember it? I wonder if it will return
to the airwaves..
