San Antonio native Jeph Duarte started his artistic journey as an actor in local theatre as well as a musician for some theatre productions and local bands. Duarte earned a Bachelor's Degree in Theater Arts from Wabash College before returning to Texas as a set assistant at New Braunfels' Circle Arts Theater.

He moved to California in 1998 where he expanded to include film to his repertoire.

On 2005, he moved to New York where he began an inclusive musical journey that welcomed players from all over New York City, eventually expanding throughout New England. Through networking, mutual respect, and support, he brought in artists from surrounding states to play at the Brooklyn County Fair, a season music festival. Eventually expanding through BrooklynCountry.com, he was able to hire regional musicians so he could tour as a local in the Midwest, New England, and Texas.

In 2013, Duarte returned to San Antonio, immersed himself in the local music scene and launched "The Jeph Duarte Show" through KPSARadio.com.

He is now looking to create a sustainable songwriters series focused on original works by local writers.
