Not Just Music Podcast Tackles Black History
In the past few months we have been diligently working to rebrand our platform. It wasn’t easy but we definitely think growth has come from it. So what are we talking about? Black History!
It’s a lot of backlash going around about black folks these days. Some good. Some bad. So our objective is to push narratives that have been overlooked for years. A lot of the info is right under our nose.
So help us embark on this journey. If you see or know of any valid history please let us know. Again, valid information only please.
Blessings,
Duan Barrino

Host / Music Producer / Videographer / Musician
I am a well-rounded musician who later became a Podcast and Music Producer. I earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Music Production from Full Sail University, and I have experience in beats, mixing, and mastering. Before attending Full Sail, I lacked confidence in my abilities. However, enrolling in the program helped me become more skilled and confident in music production.
My musical journey began at Morning Star Baptist Church in Charlotte, North Carolina, where I was a drummer for several years. During high school, I transitioned to keyboards and started singing with a quartet group called The Voices of Morning Star, which was founded by my late uncle Dennis Barrino. I also played the trumpet from elementary school through my senior year of high school and began playing the tuba in tenth grade.
Throughout high school and college, I was an All-American Track and Field athlete, specializing in hurdles and short and long distances. After graduating from the University of South Carolina, I returned to Charlotte and attended the Just 4 U Barber & Styling Academy. Since then, I have been working as a barber while continuing to pursue my passion for music.
