Growing up on reggae, R&B, 80’s and Hip-Hop music, Donna’s influences range from Alicia Keys, Anita Baker, Mariah Carey, Michael Jackson and Amy Winehouse.

Donna’s dad, Colin Blackwood, was a major music influence in her life. Colin, known as ‘Drummie’, played a wide range of instruments, created and produced his own music.
