(Cypress Island, LA) Born in a southwest Louisiana farming
community, Donna's love of music began at a very young age. Her musical style
which lends itself to Blues and R&B has been greatly influenced by many pop
and R&B artists. As bandleader, Donna has fronted two bands, 'Chapter IV'
and 'The Zydeco Posse.' She has played with the Bobby Price band, Barbara Lynn,
Archie Bell and the Drells. Donna has had the opportunity to open for many musical
greats including Boozoo Chavis, Denise LaSalle, Charmaine Neville, Irma Thomas,
Beau Jocque, Chubby Carrier and a host of others. From promoters to fans, Donna
has earned the title, 'Zydeco Diva' because of her sophistication and professionalism.
Very soft spoken and a charming personality, Donna is always striving to perfect
her craft. Donna is one of the hardest working musicians on the Zydeco circuit
and one of the few females fronting a Zydeco band today. Coming straight out
of Cypress Island, Louisiana, and having been voted "Female Vocalist" of the
Year (2003), and recently winning the "Wilson 'Boozoo' Chavis Heritage Award
(2007) by C.R.E.O.L.E. Inc., this "Zydeco Diva" is hot, hot, hot.
