DONNSUBIBorn and raised in Tanzania, East-Africa, Donnsubi has emerged to be one of the most promising artist/producer to come out of Australia music scene. He has a talent in incorporating different genres of music in the construction of his instrumentals thus allowing his music to appeal to a wide range of audience.In 1988, during early years of his childhood, Donnsubi first embraced Hip-hop culture through break dancing and grasped the very essence of the hip hop music. He credits his late brother Mpoki for exposing him to television programs such as Yo MTV Raps and teaching him the fundamentals of understanding popular culture through acts such as Michael Jackson. And by the early 90s Donnsubi had taken his talent to the streets of Dar es Salaam, competing in break-dancing challenges at house parties and beach fiestas. Until 1997, Donnsubi started recording briefly in the music classroom and boarding dormitory at Braeburn high school he attended in Nairobi, Kenya. In the high school years, the aspiring artist hosted talent shows for the boarding students while studying drama to prefect stage performance abilities. This proved to be a wonderful experience as now a developing artist and proved to gain confidence in many of his peers. By the new millennium, Donnsubi had fully developed as an artist and performed at various venues around cities in Alberta, Canada while he was undergoing a Computer Science degree. In a short period of time he spent there, he produced and recorded 2 mix tapes under the group called MP SoulJahz whose members went on to release solo materials in various parts of the world after his departure.Currently, Donnsubi is producing records for many talented artists who are about to put their works out in Western Australia and other countries around the world. At the same time he is finally recording his solo debut album titled 'UMOJA: The New World Order Vol.1' in studios around the beautiful city of Perth in WA. When asked at a recent interview what his thoughts were on the making 'new music' in digital era as a producer and solo artist, he commented, "I say, the world will embrace the works I'll put out there…especially the new generation. I feel the contents I've addressed is relevant to many people and I've arranged the album so that the music transcends through different genres. This way, I give form to new type of music which is still identifiable to many."
