Believe it or not, Ducado VeGA started his music career as a band nerd. 'I started out playing tenor sax in junior high school,' Vega says with a laugh.
"I had a little bit of an advantage because when I started playing sax in junior high, I was learning music theory," VeGA says."I had a little bit of piano because my mom was like 'you need to learn piano.' As far as learning instruments, they weren't teaching me what I wanted. So I just ditched it and kind of taught myself and my interest in everything exploded."
He first came to Dallas in 1993, and things started slowly as he recorded and experimented with his sound until he found his space in the local scene.A set at Poor David's Pub introduced him to Jeremy “Pan Blanco” Piering of The Effinays, sparking a collaboration that would send him on his merry musical way.
"We were different," VeGA says."It's a funk-rock band, so we incorporated funk elements in everything from Prince to Zeppelin-ishness and some Stevie Ray [Vaughan] and [Jimi] Hendrix. We just threw it in a pot and we were about the clothes and style. It was crazy, cool music and everyone had their own personality in the band, and it all works. I think Dallas was ready for some craziness like that.
VeGA had another medical roadblock in 2020 before the pandemic when he broke his hip and femur from a bad fall but still went"back on stage in a week," he says."People think I'm completely insane."
