Singer, Songwriter & Guitarist; Solo Artist and Alice in Chains Band Member
William DuVall Biography
William DuVall is a celebrated musician, best known as the lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist for the iconic rock band Alice in Chains since 2006. Stepping into the massive shoes of the late Layne Staley, DuVall helped usher in a new era for the band, contributing to its resurgence and continued critical and commercial success. His debut with Alice in Chains came on the 2009 album Black Gives Way to Blue, which was met with widespread acclaim and certified gold. DuVall's haunting vocal harmonies with Jerry Cantrell have become a hallmark of the band's post-Staley sound, and he has since co-written and performed on subsequent albums including The Devil Put Dinosaurs Here (2013) and Rainier Fog (2018).
Before joining Alice in Chains, DuVall had already built a rich musical résumé, including his work with Atlanta-based punk band Neon Christ in the 1980s and later with groups like Comes with the Fall, which he co-founded. His versatility as a musician—spanning punk, hard rock, metal, and acoustic genres—gave him the range and emotional depth necessary to fit seamlessly into Alice in Chains while also asserting his own unique presence.
In addition to his work with the band, DuVall launched a solo career, releasing his debut solo album One Alone in 2019. The record showcased a stripped-down, acoustic sound that highlighted his expressive vocals and introspective songwriting. Songs like "Til the Light Guides Me Home" and "The Veil of All My Fears" revealed a raw and vulnerable side of DuVall.
Whether performing with one of grunge’s most enduring acts or standing alone on stage with just a guitar, DuVall brings a deep emotional resonance and authenticity to his music. His journey from underground punk roots to fronting a legendary rock band while forging a solo path is a testament to his resilience, artistry, and enduring influence in modern rock.
