She King Duck and Delivery Boy

Uke-driven Hip Hop

Artist Biography: Janel Wagner and Casey Armstrong form the duo She King Duck and Delivery Boy.  By turns rap and sea shanty, they are songwriters with provocative, humorous, and haunting lyrics.  Janel has an operatic voice and dark, Irish-style ballads; Casey is like a splicing of Tiny Tim and Kendrick Lamar.  Open your DoorDash app, and make sure it’s the unhinged version!  They’re gonna serve you up a tasty plate of harmony and hijinx, wrapped in a mushu pancake!
