Ducky Arora (Daksh Arora) is a Canadian alternative hip-hop artist, songwriter, and content creator based in St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador. Known for his emotionally vulnerable lyrics and ambient-infused hip-hop production, he has been featured multiple times in Rolling Stone [1]India’s #RSDailyMusic series for his tracks "Khwab" [2]and "Lifafon Mein Shabdon Ko"[3] and is considered a rising artist in the Indian entertainment industry. He is a social media influencer[4], budding actor, content creator, and musician.
Early Life and Background
[edit]born in Lucknow, India, He spent his early years relocating across several Indian cities, including Gujarat, Delhi, and Gurgaon. In 2017, his family moved to Indonesia, where he completed his high school education.
This diverse cultural upbringing shaped Ducky’s worldview and musical identity, later influencing the multilingual and introspective themes in his music.
Education and Early Musical Journey
[edit]Ducky moved to Canada to pursue his undergraduate studies at Memorial University of Newfoundland. While adjusting to student life, he began teaching himself music production using an older notebook laptop, experimenting with DAWs and basic gear.
In 2021, Ducky participated in the university’s Rez Got Talent competition, where he won first place (Which he documented on his YouTube channel)[5], receiving a CA$1,000 Best Buy gift card. He used the winnings to buy his first reliable laptop, which he credits as the turning point in his music production journey.
Ducky often emphasizes that expensive gear isn’t essential to making music, but acknowledges that upgrading his setup gave him a boost. Having better tools made the creative process smoother and allowed him to bring his ideas to life more efficiently.
Social Media Presence and Influencer Growth
[edit]In 2024, Ducky began creating and sharing short-form content on Instagram[6] Reels, focusing on music, and self-help. His videos often help viewers overcome personal challenges, especially the kind of struggles he had faced alone during his own journey.
Ducky's content quickly resonated with a wide audience, particularly in India[7], where his authenticity and emotional honesty struck a chord with young emerging artists navigating pressure, loneliness, and creative blocks. Several of his reels surpassed one million views, helping him rapidly grow a loyal following. Rather than following trends, Ducky built his presence around telling people the things no one had told him—offering comfort, perspective, and empowerment through music and words.
