Craig Sculthorpe (The Duke of New Jersey) Lead, First Tenor, Second Tenor

Craig Sculthorpe, as a child, was raised in New Jersey, where he quickly learned that entertainment was his dream. His mother, being a Big Band singer, influenced him at an early age by encouraging him to sing and dance everywhere he went. From local family bars, where he sang while on the pool tables, to the Steel Pier in Atlantic City, and then to the street corners of the local community. At these corners, Craig's love for Doo-Wop began. Moving to Florida had put entertainment on hold for several years. He joined the Marine Corps after graduating high school and there decided to put together a group called "The Sentry's". They began performing at the base clubs when he was called to serve in Vietnam. Upon returning home, his desire was still for the entertainment industry, so he put together another group called the "D00-Whops" who sang on the cruise ships while providing for a wife and family. Then came a Christian Rock and Roll band called "Faith" where he was lead singer, manager and Pastor of Faith Community Church.

Throughout his career, he came to know many in the business, one of which was K.C. of "K.C. and the Sunshine Band". This friendship still continues. Craig is also responsible for K.C. and Trans Con. signing a record deal.

As his children were growing up, Craig and his wife Rosie raised three of their five in the entertainment industry, which brings us to Orlando, Florida. Craig worked for Trans Continental Records and Trans Continental Films where he looked over the careers of his children, traveling around the world with the group "Take 5" and on the set of his other son's feature film, "Longshot".

Now that Craig and his wife have helped their children to reach their goals, he is concentrating on his enjoyment, Doo-Wop.
