"I feel music is the easiest way to express the hardest things sometimes."

When you think about good grooves, a retro R&B sound with a soulful voice that can warm up any room, only one person fits the bill: Donald Hurdle.

Born and raised in Newport News, Donald has had music running through his veins since birth. As a child his dream was to become an entertainer and perform for audiences around the world. Naturally, he began to pick up instruments and began developing his own style. Playing 9 instruments (bass, drums, piano, saxophone, clarinet, guitar, oboe, synthesizer and flute), it should come as no surprise that he has a great hand in producing his own material. With musical influences ranging from Curtis Mayfield to James Fauntleroy, Bilal to The Winans. His songwriting is passionate and soul stirring whether a heart felt ballad or a funky groove. Donald is in a league of his own. Not a fan yet? Have a listen, you will be soon enough.
