On the song selection process for her debut EP, Duski said, “Over the last year and a half, I have been writing nonstop. I wanted this EP to represent what my life has looked like. I wanted to make sure that the songs I picked were as honest as ‘Costume Party’. I am really excited since this EP represents all parts of my life: a lot of change and a lot of self-discovery. Finally, being in peace with who I am. These songs are a blueprint of my life.”
“This year, I am hoping to release as much music as I possibly can,” she said. “I focused on the writing and the recording last year. I am still an independent artist and I am taking it one day at a time.”
Regarding her dream male duet choices, Duski listed her coach on The Voice Blake Shelton, as well as Keith Urban and Elton John. “I would start with those three. I would be a very happy girl if any of these three happen,” she said.

On the impact of technology on the music industry, Duski said, “Being an independent artist, technology makes it easier for me to release new music, from a financial standpoint. Technology makes music more accessible to everyone.”
