Donald Names the Album That Changed His Whole Life. He has been in the industry for quite sometime, and is still relevant. Donald began singing at a young age in the church choir, where his musical talent was discovered.
In 2008, he signed a recording deal with producer and musician, DJ Cleo on his Will of Steel imprint. The label released Donald’s debut album, which received a lukewarm reception.
