Andru Donalds

Andrew Donalds is an extraordinary musician. His performance bewitches the listener, and the voice, recognized as "golden", makes you stop and listen to its sound. Meanwhile, if as a boy he had obeyed his father and accepted the future prepared for him, fans would not have heard "Mishale", "All Out of Love" or "Simple Obsession" today.

Andrew Donalds was born on November 16, 1974 on the sunny island of Jamaica, in the city of Kingston. Thanks to his father, a professor of theology and philosophy at Princeton University, the family traveled a lot. The geography of their places of residence stretches from New York to London. Everywhere the boy lived in a student environment, getting to know different people and cultures.

Music in Andrew's biography appeared early. The father introduced his son to her. He gave notes, allowing himself to determine what he liked. Among the records that Andrew recognized at the suggestion of a parent, one of the most important places was occupied by the group "The Beatles", he first heard it at the age of 3. As an adult singer admitted, it was the Liverpool four who became his guide to the world of rock and pop music.

A young Jamaican from the age of 7 sang in the choir and listened to classical music. The father dreamed of seeing his son as a scientist, but Andrew wanted to go his own way. After school, a young man about 2 meters tall left his parental home and went on a creative search in cities and countries. At this time, he moved from New York to the Netherlands, England, France. Andrew wanted to be a good singer and composer.

At first, my career did not work out. When the aspiring musician had already decided to return home, he met with producer and composer Eric Foster White, who worked with Frank Sinatra, Whitney Houston, Britney Spears, Julio Iglesias and other popular performers and groups.

White became interested not only in the unusual appearance of the performer (tall in combination with long dreadlocks), but also in his musical talent. In 1994 the first joint album "Andru Donalds" was released. The disc is dedicated to the deceased sister Andrew and consists of 11 songs in the style of rock and roll and pop. It included the famous single "Mishale", which quickly climbed to the top of the world charts, taking 38th place on the Billboard Hot 100.

The musician wanted not only to "make" songs, but to create a universe of pop music with its diversity and special atmosphere. Working on his second album, Andrew wanted to grow, not come up with a hit similar to "Mishale", which would become popular, but would leave the artist the same. He drew an analogy with the world of cinema, where the sequel is often worse than the first part.

In 1997, Damned If I Don't appeared in the vocalist's discography. The album was dominated by reggae and rock and roll. The lyrics are filled with love and ideas of world peace. Andrew Donalds said:

In 1998, the musician was noticed by the producer of the Enigma project, Michel Cretu. He was struck by the voice of the performer. Donalds did not hesitate to agree to become the vocalist of the group. Starting work on new songs for "Enigma", Cretu realized that something bigger could come out of this, and decided to produce a solo album for Donalds. So in 1999 the disc "Snowin 'Under My Skin" appeared.

It included, among others, two singles - "All Out of Love" (a cover of the song "Air Supply"), which reached international platinum status, and the gold hit "Simple Obsession". Videos were shot for both songs. After that, the singer went on a three-week tour, giving concerts in cities in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.

In the "Enigma" project, the vocalist participated in the recording of the 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th albums. They include the famous: "Seven Lives", "Boum-Boum", "Je T'aime Till My Dying Day", "In The Shadow, In The Light", "Modern Crusaders" and others. After performing as a member of the band, Donalds was recognized as "the golden voice of Enigma."

While working on the band's new album, producers Michelle Cretu and Jens Gad began preparing Donalds' 4th disc, which was released in 2001. According to critics, "Let's Talk About It" was not entirely successful. After that, the musician took a creative break and did not record anything for 4 years. In an interview, he said:

In 2005, Andrew Donalds performed the soundtrack "I Feel" for Thiel Schweiger's film Barefoot on the Pavement. In the same year, he began to collaborate with Ukrainian singer Yevgenia Vlasova. First, they jointly recorded the song "Limbo", and after some time - "Wind Of Hope".

In 2014, a joint project between Donalds and musicians from Brazil was born, which later received the name "Karma Free". The songs were sung in English and Portuguese, accompanied by African percussion. Music was born under the influence of "Rage Against the Machine", "Red Hot Chili Peppers", Bob Marley and other similar bands and artists.

In 2015, Andrew began to collaborate with Maxim Fadeev. During a tour in Russia, the musician heard his songs and saw clips that he liked. He called and made an appointment. This is how several projects were born, including the soundtrack "I Believe" to the cartoon "Savva. The heart of a warrior. "

Almost nothing is known about the personal life of the "golden voice" of "Enigma". According to rumors, he had many lovers, but there is no official wife. It is known that the musician has a son - Diego Alexander, named after Maradona. On the Internet, including on Instagram, there are photos where the vocalist spends time with him at football matches and playing football.

Who the child's mother is is unknown, but in an interview, Andrew mentions that she is German. The singer admits that the boy is his best friend and most beloved person.

Diego sings well and plays the piano.

The musician works both solo and as part of Classic Enigma. This is a duet of Donalds and Angela Ickx. They perform with the Gregorian choir and symphony orchestra.

In early October, Andrew Donalds became the headliner of the Central Russian Upland 2018 music festival. For more than an hour and a half he performed in front of the audience, who, after each song, thanked him with bursts of applause.

In the spring of 2018, the "golden voice" sounded in St. Petersburg, Krasnodar, Rostov-on-Don, Krasnoyarsk, Novosibirsk and other cities. After the tour, the vocalist visited Brazil with concerts, which he timed to coincide with Valentine's Day, celebrated there on June 12.

Now the musician is preparing to continue his spring tour of Russia. Already on November 4, the musician performed in Kazan. After that, he went to Nizhny Novgorod, Kirov, Perm, Khabarovsk and other cities.
