His was never a story of numerous talents shows and performing in school plays, but by the time he was in his mid teens he had already attracted a management outfit, and released a single Fallingβ. During his teens Donaeβo (which means βGift from Godβ) would release and re-release a few singles, most notably Falling and Bounce under various management outfits. Both singles made an impact on the underground, with Bounce winning an award for Best Live P.A at the Peopleβ Choice Awards in 2003. All of this set the foundations for Donaeβoβs future success. βBoth of these songs kick-started my career,β says the now 25-year-old. In his late teens and early 20βs he released a few more underground singles, but was mainly out of the spotlight as he focused on working on a plan to orchestrate the next stage of his career.
The plan? To take control of his career himself, minus any management. He had penned a tune called Devil In A Blue Dress, and this was the one he felt could really turn things around, and he was right.
βI started promoted Devil In A Blue Dress last year November and I released it on a white label this February,β he recalls, adding: βDoing things myself worked better for me in the sense that I was able to choose what I wanted to do and how I wanted to do it. Sometimes going with your gut instinct, rather than over-discussing things with a bunch of different people, can work a lot better for you, thatβs the freedom I like.β
From that moment on he would personally promote the single to anyone and everyone, from fellow artists, radio djs, club djs and pirates, collecting email addresses and contact details and delivering music and information. It was about three months before things really started to take off. By February 2008 the single was in record shops and by March it was the hottest tune on the streets. Donaeβo found himself in hot demand performing live P.As across the country and in Aiya Napa as well as a coveted spot at 2008βs Glastonbury festival.
Despite enjoying the advantages of pushing his career by himself, the talented singer is smart enough to acknowledge the benefits of having a strong team on board, as long as it is the right team. Step forward bourgeoning profile and brand building company βMy-ish incβ, who have more than added to the project, tailoring it to ensure maximum success from the underground to mainstream.
When asked to describe what he brings to the table as an artist, Donaeβo says: βI bring the energy, and thatβs whatβs make me appealing. It also means that whatever kind of music a person is into they are usually moved by my songs. I have seen it with my own eyes. I donβt say that to be big-headed, I say that so appreciative that I have been blessed with this gift.β
Donaeβo is currently working on his debut album, which is set to be released next year. For the moment he is happy doing funky house saying: βIβve been singing and MCing from time, but I donβt think I found myself musically until house was introduced to me.β However his diverse talent and skills means he is not one to be limited, so expect the unexpected from the singer, and also expect whatever he comes with to blow you away.

I bring the fire, fire
I bring the fire, fire, fire
I bring the fire, fire
I bring the fire, fire, fire
I bring the fire, fire
I bring the fire, fire
I'mma stand tall like a red bus
High up in the sky, get a headrush
I love my fans to the NG, I need you, ain't doubts
Going on the bridge like a black cop
You're a pile of trash like a black bag
Boy, about to look at things serious
Party, woo, blam-blam
I bring the fire, fire, fire
I bring the fire, fire
I bring the fire, fire, fire
I bring the fire, fire
I bring the fire, fire, fire
I bring the fire, fire
On the streets I'm a big issue
With my bald head like I'm Phill Mitu
Got in West end for a night out
Me and my friends, we're some night owls
Dark shades, snapbacks
Dressing all black, that swag
Got a twit from the Twitter, hashtag
Billy Jean said she wants to beat it, that's right
I bring the fire, fire, fire
I bring the fire, fire
I bring the fire, fire, fire
I bring the fire, fire
I bring the fire, fire, fire
I bring the fire, fire
Look, no, I won't, I won't give in
If they open that door when I get in
I bring the fire, fire, fire
Fire, fire, fire
I bring the fire, fire
I bring the fire, fire, fire
I bring the fire, fire
I bring the fire, fire, fire
I bring the fire, fire
The roof, the roof, the roof is on fire
We don't need no water, let it burn, let it burn out
Let it burn out
We are the party hard, you know we have a party
Party hard
You know we have a party
Party hard, you know we have a party
Went away to the brave-y, tell the men get away from wave
I'm in the back of the lime with you
Send them back in plate ey
I leave just a big tipsy, ain't complaining
Outside the club the line looks thick and the girls are gazing
This night is a long deal, open up, take a mine
Can't wait till I get inside, all the way to the morning light
We're getting on, finally I see rave is getting dough
The DJ's got my tune up and I don't wanna get my groove on
We are the party hard, you know we have a party
Party hard
You know we have a party
Party hard, you know we have a party
Fire, fire, fire
Fire, fire
Fire, fire, fire
