Dijon Duenas, known mononymously as Dijon, is an American singer-songwriter, record producer, and multi-instrumentalist born on June 9, 1992, in Washington, United States. He first gained recognition as part of the alternative R&B duo Abhi//Dijon, which released projects in 2015 and 2016 before he embarked on a solo career in 2017. Dijon’s music blends elements of alternative R&B and soul, characterized by introspective lyrics and a genre-defying sound. Dijon’s solo career includes a series of singles and EPs, notably the 2019 EP *Sci Fi 1* and *How Do You Feel About Getting Married* in 2020. His debut studio album *Absolutely* was released in 2021, accompanied by a film, marking a significant milestone in his artistic development. His second studio album, *Baby*, released in August 2025, received critical acclaim and features personal themes, including references to his marriage to stylist Joanie Del Santo and their son, whose photo appears on the album cover. Throughout his career, Dijon has collaborated with prominent artists such as Mk.gee, Matt Champion, Charli XCX, Bon Iver, and Justin Bieber. His diverse heritage—having a Guamanian father and a mixed-race mother—and a childhood marked by frequent relocations due to his parents' military service have influenced his musical perspective and creative output. Dijon studied literature at the University of Maryland, where he also met his early collaborator Abhirath Raju. His approach to music is noted for its emotional depth and experimental style, drawing inspiration from artists like Prince while developing his own unique voice. Dijon remains active and relevant in contemporary music, recognized for pushing boundaries within alternative R&B and soul genres[1][2][3].
