Dijon

Dijon Duenas is a producer, songwriter, and singer for whom alternative R&B is a very loose categorization, as the term does little to indicate his creative synthesis of inspirations that pulls from decades of rhythm & blues and folk, left-field hip-hop and club music, pure pop, and more. He appeared in the mid-2010s as one-half of Abhi//Dijon before he established his solo career with Warner Records affiliate R&R. A succession of singles and EPs from 2017 through 2020 led to Absolutely (2021) and Baby (2025), albums centering his soulful, funk-tinged vocals and alternately gentle and abrasive sonics. Dijon's own recordings have been balanced with outside production, writing, and occasional featured appearances on songs by varied peers including Charli xcx, Mk.gee, Bon Iver, and Justin Bieber.Part of a military family, Dijon had an itinerant upbringing during which he frequently bounced between his birthplace of Germany and the U.S., and lived in several states, from Hawaii to Iowa to Maryland. While in college at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, he and friend Abhi Raju formed Abhi//Dijon. The duo made their independent recorded debut in 2013 and went on to appear on tracks by Nao ("Adore") and Talib Kweli ("Baby Girl"). Montana, Abhi//Dijon's 2016 swan song, was released on R&R, the label with which Dijon remained on his own. Dijon's first wave of solo singles across 2017 and 2018 took a purposefully scruffy and less electronic approach with rawer and more direct emotional content. Sci Fi 1, his first EP, followed in 2019, as did a DJDS collaboration ("Magic Loop") and "Good Luck" (a spare and brief ballad that would be sampled on Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign's "Stars"). Dijon entered the next decade by co-writing and co-producing "Pink Diamonds" for Charli xcx. The same day the song saw release as the lead track on How I'm Feeling Now, Dijon issued How Do You Feel About Getting Married?, his second EP. Later in 2020, Dijon covered Rufus & Chaka Khan's "Sweet Thing" and followed it with "The Stranger," a contemporary folk song on which he shared vocals with the motley cast of Dan Reeder, John C. Reilly, Thea Gustafsson, Sachi, and Tobias Jesso, Jr. In November 2021, Dijon delivered Absolutely, an album highlighted by the Prince-ly and Bonnie Raitt-inspired "The Dress," as well as "Many Times," a turbulent if cathartic track that Barack Obama included on his summer 2022 playlist. From 2022 through 2024, Dijon released only "Coogie," but he was sought by Vegyn, Kenny Beats, Mk.gee, Matt Champion, and Julius Rodriguez during the same period, and contributed to songs from each artist. In 2025, after he co-wrote and was featured on Bon Iver's "Day One," and was a major factor in Justin Bieber's Swag, he issued his freer-sounding second album, Baby.
