Biography

The smooth style of modern day soul singer Donnie is comparable to such other similar sounding artists as Macy Gray, Jill Scott, Seal, and Maxwell. Born in Lexington, Kentucky during the mid '70s, Donnie was raised in Atlanta, Georgia, and came from a very religious family (both of his parents were ministers). Singing for a choir at an early age, Donnie soon expanded his musical horizons, as he became influenced equally by such gospel artists as Walter Hawkins and Mahalia Jackson plus such soul/R n' B masters as Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, and Aretha Franklin. By the early 21st century, Donnie was signed to the Giant Step label, and issuing such singles and EP's as Holiday, Masterplan, Do You Know?, Excerpts from the Colored Section, and Our New National Anthem. The singer's anticipated full-length debut, the Colored Section, was released in November 2002 and eventually picked up for release by Motown. The Daily News, an even more ambitious album, followed for Soul Thought in 2007.

    Lyrics
    Do you know what you're doing?
    Do you know who you're screwing?
    Baby don't you play yourself and think
    Your time alone will bring my loving heart to shame
    There's a choice, there's a choice you have to make

    Lyrics
    Head, shoulders, knees and toes
    Lips, my eyes, my mouth, my nose
    They all go against what
    Society calls beautiful
    I'm left handed in my right mind

    Lyrics
    You're in L.A. and I'm in Hell
    'Cause everywhere is Hell when you're not there
    Prepaid calling cards ain't got no time
    The love got plenty reason but no rhyme
    You can't tell me that it don't mean a thing

    Lyrics
    I swear I feel the spirit every time you I look at you
    'Cause I know that God is moving in my life
    There's a certain type of healing every time you look at me
    And I know the feelings neither wrong nor right
    It's very evident that you are heaven sent
