In the heart of the U.S. Virgin Islands, St. John is a hotbed for emerging music and recording artists. Our vision is to develop a music recording and distribution infrastructure to foster and support the diverse community talent pool that powers the island’s vivid culture and nightlife. From Reggae to Rock, Calypso to Country, GOOD DUCK was launched out of a desire to share these sounds with the world while supporting our artists with career development opportunities.

OUR STORY
Jared Warren and Allen Clapp co-founded GOOD DUCK in late 2024 when the groundswell of artists on St. John in the US Virgin Islands had amassed over 150 unreleased songs in Allen’s Coral Star Studio. These recordings from this (soon to be infamous) oceanfront recording studio illuminated the need to support the artists and release their music. From a youth steel pan orchestra, to a seasoned reggae artist, to a space rock jam band, to a burgeoning country superstar or a young teen pop singer-songwriter — all of these performers share the common thread of being on a small island in the Caribbean and exhibiting exceptional talent and the desire to be heard. In 2025 GOOD DUCK joined forces with Music Masters Collective 501(c)(3) as a natural evolution of our objectives and shared mission.
