Düke was born in Cameroon in 1998. His father was the musician Billy Mussango, who repeatedly attract-ed attention with his political and critical lyrics.

In the following years, his mother and both brothers also followed.
After releasing my first mixtape I started working with my brother Bill on his EP. After releasing his EP, he was part of the Label. In the following time, Düke attracted attention, especially as a producer. He worked with BTNG, Kay One, Nessa and many other artists. At the same time, he signed the Berlin newcomer 03CMB and expanded the label's structures. In 2021, Düke started again with a surprise. 03CMB, Düke and Bill formed the group CSQUAD, which released the French song "Le Pas". After a short time, the single reached several million views on Triller and TikTok, due to the "Le Pas Challenge", and was able to place itself internationally.
