Fans of the multiple-award winning South African artist, Donald, can be part of his first ever live DVD recording at Carnival City\u2019s Big Top Arena on August 19.<\/p>\n
The platinum selling artist presents The Red Mic Xperience (RMX) from 7pm and has promised an evening packed full of surprises for his beloved fans.<\/p>
Donald has been blazing a trail in the South African music industry since 2007 when he first started performing with band, Muzo, signed by the legendary award-winning Selaelo Selota.<\/p>\n
After leaving the group, he performed as a backing vocalist and featured vocalist for artists like Malaika, Zonke, Kwela Tebza, Slikour and many more.<\/p>
In 2010, he released his first solo album, Simply Donald, which has a decidedly afro jazz feel.<\/p>\n
The lead single \u201cKnow You Better\u201d quickly became a favourite at his live performances.<\/p>\n
In 2011, inspired by his mentor DJ Cleo, Donald formed his own record company D Exclusive Sounds and released his critically acclaimed single \u201cI Deserve\u201d.<\/p>\n
The single was followed by his second album Train of Love.<\/p>\n
\u201cI Deserve\u201d reached number one on the official EMA charts, as well as on local radio stations.<\/p>\n
Follow-up singles like \u201cDenial\u201d, \u201cYour Joy\u201d and \u201cOver the Moon\u201d also reached number one positions, a rarity for a South African artist.<\/p>\n
In 2012, he was arguably one of South Africa\u2019s biggest artists, with his song \u201cOver The Moon\u201d the second most downloaded song in the Vodacom music downloads, second after Rihanna\u2019s \u201cDiamonds\u201d.<\/p>\n
By 2013, he had made a name for himself as a solo artist and was acknowledged with the Channel O Music Video Award for Best R&B Video for \u201cCrazy But Amazing\u201d, as well as a Metro FM Music Award for Best Styled Artist.<\/p>\n
His current album Black & White 2.0 The DJ\u2019s Edition reached gold towards the end of 2015 and is fast approaching platinum status.<\/p>\n
