A Little Bit More About Me

 

My name is Duncan Christopher Hartz, I've been playing music since I was 8 years old. I grew up in a small town called Connellsville in southwestern Pennsylvania. My father raised me around rock and roll and many types of music and I've had an appreciation for music my entire life. I started my first band in my sophomore year in high school. We were first called "Jen the Band" and it soon switched to the name "Nox Imperium". We made a name for ourselves by playing at local festivals and really anywhere else that we could. We soon made our way out of state to New York, playing on a radio show and on a TV show. New York would be where we would land our first big record deal. Our run as Nox Imperium was a success in all of our minds but soon we split ways to move on and pursue our own projects. Since then I've been playing with big artists as well as writing, recording, and producing my own albums.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Atkin's Music Festival

 

In the start of forming a band it is always hard to find gigs so Adam Ruck (Keyboard and Guitar player for Nox Imperium) and I decided to make our own festival where we could headline. We decided to do it for a good cause. The festival went on for two years, the second year doubling the donations made at the first. We made a name for ourselves around town with the Mayor and City Council and finally got our name out.
