Peter Wilson released music under other stage names and collaborated with different bands before going solo as Duke Special in 2002.

He has released 11 albums since then, including the Choice Music Prize-nominated Songs from the Deep Forest (2006).

Duke wrote the music and lyrics for The Velveteen Rabbit, a musical adaptation of Margery Williams’ children's classic directed by Janice Kernoghan-Reid, which premiered a few weeks ago at Lyric Theatre Belfast.

He also recently performed at the 2025 Dublin Bowie Festival.
