Tanya Morgan's Moonlighting was one of 2006's most important releases, what does that have to do with Donwill? Everything. As the story goes Tanya Morgan is a collective of soloists and a group bound together by their mutual friendship and love of music. As a member of this oddly named trio, Donwill helped in crafting one of the years most timeless releases. From songwriting to marketing his input was instrumental in the entire Moonlighting campaign. It was a combination of Donwill's drive and the collective's sound that helped Tanya Morgan solidify write-ups from well-respected publications like The Source and XXL, and heavy rotation on college radio shows around the country.

The Homeless Shelter is a further extension of Donwill's drive and creativity. It is meant to be a haven for a few of the songs in his extensive solo catalog, but the title itself implies so much more. Simply stated, music is his shelter and without he is homeless.

You might be wondering why The Homeless Shelter is found at the beginning of Donwill's personal blog. Well, what better of an introduction to an artist's life than thru an all encompassing daily journal of their life, from work to music. Since the music and the words in the blog are intrinsic to one another, you the listener not only get to experience his music but walk thru the days that inspired him to compose these and countless other songs. As a writer Donwill is currently a contributor for several sections of www.hiphopdx.com and www.kicksclusive.com. He has also done work for RIME magazine, www.allhiphop.com and several other media outlets.
