==Biography==
Ducas was born August 1, 1966, in Texas City, TX, under the name George Evnochides.〔〔Hurst, Jack. "(Head of his class: 'Kid from Vanderbilt' graduates to Nashville with high marks )." ''Chicago Tribune''. February 5, 1995.〕 When he was 5, his parents (an Exxon chemical engineer and an English professor)〔 divorced. He moved to San Diego with his mother. He moved back to Houston six years later to live with his father and stepmother. He attended Lamar High School and Kinkaid High School.〔
Ducas left Houston to attend Vanderbilt University, graduating in 1989 with a degree in economics; after only working six months at an Atlanta bank,〔 he quit to focus on music full-time. "Maybe doing something secure is safer," Ducas told ''The Times Leader'' of Wilkes-Barre, Pa., in 1997. "However, doing something you love is much more important, even if it's a little more dangerous." 〔Rose, Van. "Singer banks on staying power." ''The Times Leader'' (Wilkes-Barre, Pa). March 2, 1997.〕
He adopted his maternal grandmother's maiden name, Ducas, after high school.〔 "My father said he'd always had trouble with his last name," Ducas told ''The Houston Chronicle'' in an article published on Sept. 30, 1994. "He suggested I change it. It felt strange and uncomfortable at first, but now I'm used to it." 〔
