Donnie, (born Donald Joseph Klang on January 23, 1985 in Brooklyn, New York) professionally known as Donnie J, is a
music producer, singer, model, television actor, dancer, and performer. He is most well known as a contestant MTV's
Making the Band 4. He was awarded his own solo contract by Diddy instead of a spot in the group.
Early Life
Growing up in Brooklyn, New York, but later moving to Long Island at the age of 12, Donnie developed a passion for
performing. He had many attractions as a young man. Later on, from his dad's second marriage, he gained a step
family including three sisters and many new cousins. He sang in a pop and R&B group during his years at Island Trees
High School in Levittown, New York, before graduating in 2003. Donnie has worked labor jobs for ten hours a day, yet
for most of his life, he's made the most of it, stating, "I've seen the best of both worlds."
He is attending Hofstra University in Hempstead, New York for a major in business degree and minor in music. Donnie
decided to take a semester off of college to pursue his music career and went on tour with his group. Not very long after
he returned to Hofstra University, the chance came for Making the Band 4, and he again took time off college, saying, "I
could go to school and be a businessman, but I'd be sitting there daydreaming about this, so why not take the chance?"
