Don-e a multi talented musician some pen as a younger Stevie Wonder.
From Multi-cultural Brixton, London, he embraced the sounds of Reggae, Dub, Lover‟s Rock,
Jazz, Funk, Pop and then later Ragga, Jungle and Garage all this and more, combining
melodies, sounds and rhythms to create a style that would be identified as his own.
Don-e has more recently been focused primarily on writing and producing for other artists,
among them Shaun Escoffery, Mica Paris, Beverley Knight, Lynden David Hall, Omar, Grace
Jones, Avani and Rahsaan Patterson.
He signed to Island Records and released a remarkable debut album „Unbreakable‟. Not only
was he responsible for every song and arrangement, but virtually every instrument on the
album was played by him. The album also featured the Top 20 hit „Love Makes The World Go
Round‟ and the now classic underground club and sound system smash „Unbreakable‟.
Having travelled and performed extensively internationally his unique “Ragga Funk” sound has
caught the ear of not only emerging UK artists such as Shaun Escoffrey but also artists like D‟Angelo, Lauryn Hill and Mos Def.
Don-e absorbs many influences that are refreshingly reflected in his maturity as a singer/songwriter on this new project.
Don-e is currently touring with Grace Jones taking time out to give back through his musical gifts to this
worthy cause.
