(Louisiana - Zydeco/R&B)

When Donna was just eight years of age, her parents noticed her interest in, and talent for music.  While in seventh grade, Donna joined the Carver High School band in Breaux Bridge, Louisiana.   Encouraged by her music teacher, she learned to play the clarinet, saxophone, viola, and flute.   In 1970 Donna began her professional music career playing keyboard for the artist, Bobby Price.   A year later she moved on to work with Cosmic Sky, one of the hottest regional groups at the time.   Donna's music was influenced by the sounds of Aretha Franklin, Curtis Mayfield, Gladys Knight, and various artists who were making appearances on Soul Train and American Bandstand.

Donna's musical momentum was brought to a sudden halt when she was involved in a serious car accident. The injuries Donna sustained in the accident sidelined her career, keeping her out of the music business for several years.  

Equipped with a strong will and desire to continue her career, Donna met the challenge of overcoming the obstacles imposed by her injuries and in 1994 formed another band.   This time Donna showcased a variety of styles such as Zydeco, Oldie Soul, and Hip-Hop.Donna Angelle is a hardworking musician who makes her presence known wherever she performs.   She has had the honor of opening for blues legends such as Denise LaSalle, Chubby Carrier, Beau Jocque, Latimore, and many other nationally known artists.
