New Delhi (India), July 10 : Hitangshu Sarmah, better known as DonnyJ, from the heart of India, embarked on his musical journey at the age of three. Despite academic struggles and facing a severe drug addiction, music was his constant solace. Throughout school and college life in Delhi and Noida, Donny felt like a pariah. However, his exemplary musical talent drew people to him. Primarily a vocalist, he performed at numerous events across India, captivating audiences with his stage presence and eccentricity.
In India, he performed at prestigious festivals like the Kut Festival in Manipur and the NEC Tamchon Football Tournament, with dedicated performances broadcast on national television channels like Doordarshan. As a pivotal figure in the Underground Music League, he helped establish a vibrant Hip-Hop and R&B scene in Delhi.
As college life ended, Donny aimed for his dream of attending Berklee College of Music. Against the odds, he was accepted, but Berklee turned out to be a different experience than expected. Financial struggles often left him scavenging for food, yet his creativity flourished. Producing and releasing his own music, Donny realized that true fulfillment lay in arriving at the pinnacle of one’s craft.
