Yeah man! I'm
Donny B. Lord, your tropical island exotic boy. Born in the British West Indies and traveling the world at an early age, I soon became a professional dancer, actor, singer and martial artist, working with performers like Jennifer Love Hewitt, singer Brandy, and the legendary Jackson family. I was encouraged by Paula Abdul and Sean Diddy Combs to get into print work.
I am classically trained in Ballet but enjoy many forms of dance including Modern, African, Jazz, Tap, and Hip Hop. I come from a multicultural and multiethnic family and have lived in Europe, the Caribbean and the United States, attending 13 schools before graduating from the University of Southern California with Honors with a degree in Public Relations.
I always bring my multicultural experience to my work and I love collaborating to create innovative artistic ideas. Being a performer, I especially love action and performing shots. In addition to modeling and acting, I am a passionate recording artist and musician who was rated the #5 Unsigned Artist on MySpace in 2008.
Let's get together, make art, leave them with their jaws hanging and make history!
