About this user
http://www.donnyblord.com/ Donny B. Lord (D.B.L.) lives his life outside of the box, and has happily immersed himself in the worlds of film, TV, music, dance, and even stand-up comedy.
But his real passion is music and connecting with his audience, of which he'll be doing a lot more. This year, DBL debuted his single, "Party On The Moon," a pop/dance track that encourages independent artists everywhere to stay true to their artistic vision and be themselves.
The video, directed by Yolande Geralds, (Trey Songz, Omarion, Jagged Edge, Plies) was recently released, and features Akon's Dolls Raquelle Lee and Pretty Rikki, and model Tiffany Belle who stars in Lil Wayne's video, " 6 Foot 7 Foot."
On February 10, 2012, DBL won the award for Best Dance Artist at the All Indie Music Awards held at Key Club in Hollywood. DBL premiered his single "Beautiful" produced by Duane DaRock Ramos and performed his song "Party On The Moon".
DBL hails from the Island of St. Lucia in the British West Indies. His Caribbean mother was a professional dancer and his father -- William A. Lord-Butcher -- is a prominent political strategist.
Starting from the tender age of 7 years old, DBL booked Pepsi, Cheerios and Footlocker commercials, and guest starred on CBS' DESIGNING WOMEN and HBO's ENCYCLOPEDIA BROWN. In film, DBL played a choirboy in Paramount's ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS and portrayed a young Hank Gathers in Tribune Entertainment's FINAL SHOT: THE HANK GATHERS STORY. Additionally, he has performed as a singer/dancer on THE WALT DISNEY COMPANY PRESENTS THE AMERICAN TEACHER AWARDS; THE PEOPLE'S CHOICE AWARDS and THE SOUL TRAIN MUSIC AWARDS.
In the last few years, DBL's song, "Fire," came in second in the esteemed International Songwriting Competition, and Motorola, Verizon, MTV's MY SUPER SWEET 16, and CBS' CANE and THE DISTRICT have licensed his music.
When he's not in the spotlight or in the studio writing and recording new songs, DBL supports various charities. Coming from a multi-cultural household himself, DBL understands what it is to be "different."
He helps his aunt, Sandra Lord, who is a former singer and celebrity from his native island, with her non-profit organization, Changing Images in America. It produces and supports programs that promote and embrace diversity in American culture. He is also an advocate of the Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Los Angeles, supports the Los Angeles Mission, has volunteered at St. Vincent de Paul Village in San Diego, and taught dance to underprivileged children within the LA Unified School District.
DBL, a former protégé of the Jackson family, graduated from USC with a degree in public relations at the Annenberg School of Communications and Journalism. He currently resides in Los Angeles. "Party On The Moon" is available for download on iTunes.
