History
Dušan Brachna was born on March 26, 1997 in Bratislava. He was named after his father, who was a lesser-known musician. When he was young, he dreamed of competing in Formula 1 races. However, he ended up dedicating ten years of his life to folk dancing. His hobby in his free time was skateboarding with his friends. He attended a private high school of animated art in Bratislava, where he studied graphic design. It was there that he met the famous Slovak YouTuber GoGo.

Carrier
He didn't start filming until high school, where he met YouTuber GoGo after 7 years. GoGo already had experience with filming YouTube videos. Therefore, Dušan asked for his help, and GoGo willingly assisted him, thus marking the beginning of Dušan's career. His first channel was called DukePlayGames (December 25, 2012 - October 28, 2013). In 2013, he decided to start filming on his new main channel, Duklock. Initially, his content focused mainly on gameplay, let's play videos, and vlogs. However, later on, he began creating reaction videos. After the death of his father, he stopped using vulgar language in the majority of his videos.

On May 2, 2017, he created his secondary channel, DuklockPlus, which has over 374,000 subscribers as of June 20, 2023. He primarily releases edited live-stream highlights from games on this channel.

At the beginning of 2019, he collaborated with YouTubers Vidrail and Vadak on a rap song called "Wannabe," which has approximately 11 million views. In 2020, he achieved one of the biggest successes of his career by appearing in a video with the famous YouTuber PewDiePie, where he showcased yo-yo tricks. Another significant achievement was the rap song "Haló," which became a hit in 2021. Currently, popular series on his channel include #ME, #RE, RECAST, TechLock, and others. The most-watched video on his channel is a parody of the song "Jacuzzi," originally performed by GoGo and Celeste Buckingham.

#RE
In this video series, he reacts to current topics from YouTube or the internet by expressing his own opinion on them. He often gets angry in the videos and uses vulgar language, which he acknowledges at the beginning of the videos along with irony and dark humor.

#ME
Dušan created this series as a joke. He created a Reddit community where people can post their contributions such as memes, funny videos, fan art, and videos, as well as artistic works related to Dušan and his community. Every Wednesday, Duklock selected the best submissions, commented on them, and released a new video featuring them. Over time, #ME became his most successful series. He concluded the series in 2023 with the idea of reviving it in the near future, but in a different format.
