Business Feature and Music:

Don E:

From the time Don -E landed on the 4th & Broadway recording platform in 1992, a “Little Star” was born and destined to become engulfed in the musical arena, where he still is relevant with his own unique brand of “Ragga Funk”. Like many other gifted individuals coming from a stringent gospel background with his father being a pastor, Don-E was secretly absorbing plenty of the secular music which would shape his musical inner-vision and mind. These influences included Stevie Wonder and Donny Hathaway.

Like another one man band musical genius Prince, Don-E is a multi instrumentalist as showcased, on his debut album “Unbreakable” practically playing every instrument. “Love Makes The World Go Round” was a top 20 hit and inspired Prince Markie Dee’s “Typical Reasons(Swing My Way)”, with “Unbreakable” and “Mystery” causing plenty ripples and wave in the world music aquarium.

His diversity has linked him with producer Ron Tom and pop female groups All Saint’s and The Sugar Babes. Don-E has supported R Kelly, co written a track with D’Angelo and is part of Grace Jones’s regular touring band. He is the catalyst for the new resurgence created in the recognition for the UK soul ambassadors.
