Career in Exodus
After being fired from a band he was part of in New York, Dukes rode his motorcycle on a 5 month, 11,000 mile trip to California, with no idea of career prospects. Despite considering a career as a scuba diving instructor, Dukes ended up working as a guitar tech after living in Hollywood for two months. He met and befriended Jeff Hickey, a long time friend of Exodus. Working for Exodus, he played a demo tape created in 1996 to Gary Holt, Rick Hunolt and Tom Hunting. After Steve Souza departed the band, Dukes was offered the vocalist position and made his first appearance on the 2005 release Shovel Headed Kill Machine. To date, he has appeared on five studio albums.
