I was born in California (a.k.a American Mexico) and was raised in Original Mexico. In other words, I climbed the wall in the opposite direction. I've been a professional musician for 25+ years and I'm extremely fortunate to have been making a living from music during my whole career. As fate would have it, I know live in the capital of the beautiful Nordic country of Finland, with my Finnish wife, and two adorable little terrorists.

You can request songs free of charge! (when song requests are open). You can find the list of songs you can request here: https://www.streamersonglist.com/t/dukemcdonaldmusic/songs. Clicking on the 'request' button will add your song to the queue.

PRIORITY REQUESTS If you're impatient (like me!) and you don't want to wait for your song to be played, a Sub, gift Sub, 500 bits or a 5€ Paypal donation will get your requests bumped up to the TOP of the queue!

LIVE LEARN Is there a song you want me to play, but it's not on the list? For a donation of 25€ or 2500 bits, I will learn the song on the spot! If I like the song, I might just add it to my songlist! :D

RULES:

1. Tell a mod you'd like a Live Learn BEFORE donating.
2. It must be a song I've at least heard of
3. The song must be of reasonable difficulty (i.e. no hardcore jazz or long instrumentals)
4. Have 1 or 2 other options in mind in case I can't do the song you are requesting
5. The song must have lyrics and chords available online
6. Only 1 Live Learn per stream
7. I will spend a maximum of 20 mins. on learning the song

Donations are not expected nor required, but they are ALWAYS appreciated. I do spend a lot of time improving my streaming skills for my audience, and your generous tips and donations will allow me to improve my gear and more importantly, justify to my wife that it's totally worth it to spend all that time alone in my studio playing for you. ;) Thank you so much!

All donations are non-refundable, and no services are exchanged for donations.

I started live-streaming on TikTok in 2021, although I have fully converted to Twitch streamer, I still stream most of my IRL gig on Tiktok. So, if you're on that side of the interwebs, I'd appreciate the follow. Tell me that Twitch sent ya! ;)
