2012 was an incredible year for the 28 year old rising RnB singer and Oak Cliff native as it marked the launch of his professional singing career. Durance Ware started 2012 with a mix tape that boasted 6 original songs and 3 remakes. From this mixtape rose a song out of the ashes that is taking the underground live music scene in Dallas by storm. The song, Shapeshifter, brought attention from fans, magazines, radio stations and even other artist that he has opened for.
The success of this single created a big enough buzz to attract promoters who were booking for concerts with R&B legends such as, Joe, Dave Holister, and Tank. With his most recent opening being by request from Silk and Fantasia, after hearing his music as he won a contest to open for the American Idol star and the legendary RnB group. With all of this going on it is no wonder why he was a producer assisted DuRance in landing a publishing deal with non-stop publishing though Warner/Chappell, where DuRance will be looking for his songs to be placed soon.
