Donna has been entertaining professionally since the age of 11 years old. Starting in Country Music at 9, Donna's first instrument was playing drums for Tauranga Country Music Club in New Zealand. Donna's interest in playing saxophone and harmonica convinced her parents to start a family band 'Moderation'. With her two sisters playing keyboards and bass, brother on drums, and mum on guitar. This concept of an almost all female band ventured for 12 years. A total of 6 weekends off in 10 years, playing live as a band and as a family, was a challenging learning experience. Donna now aspires as a soloist and songwriter, currently working on her RnB record label project scheduled for 2009.
