Speakers
Megan Duke
Growing up in a family where literally everyone can sing, music has always been a major part of my life. I remember singing my very first solo at my home church in Virginia at 10 years old. That was the beginning of a lifelong journey of singing and performing in various settings and venues worldwide – for crowds big and small. Ultimately, I sing for an audience of ONE. I have learned that worship is the reason why we were all created. There’s nothing else I’d rather do!
In March 2020, I released my debut solo album “Heart On Fire”. The Lord did exceedingly and abundantly more than I could have ever imagined with that album! It continues to impact people around the globe. In my career, I have also been featured on major projects with Michael W. Smith, Paul Baloche, Anthem Lights, and many more. Two times I have toured with the largest Christian tour – Winter Jam, and have shared the stage with the likes of Lecrae, TobyMac, For King & Country, Skillet, Tauren Wells, We the Kingdom, Colton Dixon, Crowder, Hillsong, and more. 2022 has been the most rewarding year yet and I am only getting started! Right now, I am releasing a series of new singles while also working on putting together my next full-length album.
One of my favorite verses is Colossians 3:23 – “Whatever you do, work at with your whole being as unto the Lord and not unto men.” It is my hope and prayer that through my music, you would be able to grasp how deep the Father’s love is for you, be transformed and empowered by the Holy Spirit to be and make disciples, and live a life completely surrendered to the one true God who is worthy of all of our praise and adoration.
