Student Spotlight: Duvy Burston
Annina D. • May 26, 2021
All about former Sunburst student, Duvy Burston
While living in Pittsburgh, Duvy took piano and voice lessons with Sunburst and spent a portion of that time practicing songwriting. He has since written and arranged a number of songs that you can find on Spotify and/or your preferred streaming platform. Duvy writes a mix of English pop and songs inspired by Hebrew songs and prayers - all of which are truly lovely to listen to.
Most of Duvy’s music, like his original To The Dust, is about overcoming challenges by believing in yourself and believing in God. Ki At Imadi is particularly moving as it honors the victims of the Tree of Life Synagogue shooting in 2018. Duvy wrote an original melody for the words of the Hebrew prayer Ki At Imadi. You can listen to that song here.
Though currently in Rabbinical school, Duvy is still writing and has loose plans to release new music this year. You can follow him on Spotify to keep up with his music here! Duvy can also be found on Instagram, and TikTok @DuvyBurstonMusic and on Facebook as "Duvy Burston." Don’t forget to give him a follow!
We love to see our students continue to pursue music even after moving on from us and feel that it’s important to share their stories so that others might feel empowered to do the same. Thank you, Duvy, for sharing your musical journey with us! We are excited to see what the future has in store for you!
