About Me

Well, I've always written music, but it was only recently that I gained the possibility of recording it. With the first TEAC 4-track Portastudio from the 1970's from my father, I started laying out song after song in early 2005. Novermber of that year, I self-released Donnie Sings!, a 14 track album. The recordings were above average for the Portastudio, but lacked the recording quality of digital sound. Many of my songs are injected with a humor that's either "you get it, or you don't". My new release, We're Gonna Win This One, on the other hand, shows the perfected recording quality of the Portastudio. With much longer songs and more complex music, it makes a great follow up. Basically, I'm a 15 year old making music.
