At the age of 24, he walked away from his musical career and took on the tremendous responsibility of raising his youngest brother who was 12 years old at the time.
Today, as a Cross-Generational Communication Specialist and a leading youth empowerment advocate, Al is a high energy, high content, high impact speaker, lecturer, and motivational powerhouse.

Al Duncan was high content and exteremly impactful. Students loved Al Duncan becauase he was exteremly practical and personable. For instance, Al's keynote address provided our student-body with practical steps to imporve their personal effectiveness and leadersship qualities. His "Duncan Nuggets" proved to be a instant hit as one student wrote, "I loved Al, he had very common sense ideas that people simply overlook. His "Duncan Nuggests are everyday phrases you can take with you for a long time, and he will conversate with you after the event." Simply said, Al Duncan has style and sustance.
