“There’s no reason I cant do anything anybody else can do. On top of that, there’s no reason I cant do what they can , work 10x harder, and do it 100x better.”
— Donevan
Born on April, 28 1986 and originally from Bakersfield CA, Donevan has lived in LA, Houston, and Orlando. Being interested in music since such a young age, he has been always obsessed with the producers who made the actual music beats. When he was 12 he started experimenting with Sony Acid making tracks and recording some of his friends on those tracks. At the age of 17 he taught himself to play a four-string bass guitar and was taught by a family friend to play chords on a piano, while producing those tracks on his father’s korg triton.
Wanting to pursue a degree in recording arts, he decided to move to Orlando, FL and attended Full Sail University to perfect and expand his knowledge in the studio aspect of music and wanted to do it all by himself. Being alone and far away from family, after he graduated he started working to pay bills putting his dreams on hold. But after working rigorously for 2 years, he decided to move to Houston because things weren’t really taking off like he wanted in Orlando. He then began working 3 jobs to save up and purchase equipment of his own to start producing music. While living in Houston, he was going through hard times with his long distance relationship with his girlfriend who lived in Clearwater FL. The heartache left him with this permanent pain in his chest and loss of sleep. The only thing that soothed his pain was when he picked up that MIC and sang, that marked the beginning of his writing and singing career. But as things only started picking up with his music career more road blocks have halted his dreams of become a music phenom.
In October 2008 he was rear ended at a dead stop on the 59 freeway
in Houston by a van going 50mph. His car was totaled so he had no way of getting to any of his jobs. So he had no choice but to pack up yet again and move back to his mothers in Los Angeles.
As things finally started looking up for him, he finally acquired the gear he needed and got right to work on writing, producing, recording, and booking shows on his own. With an exclusive interview with Donevan Towns himself, he said “ Music is a refined form of energy and expression. I think what separates me from other artists is my grasp and understanding of sacrifice and hard work. I refuse to not be good enough or have anybody be better than me, period. Anything somebody else can do, I can work my fuckin ass off and do 100 times better. Currently I’m back and forth between LA and Orlando recording music and am on the cusp of stardom.”
