Donny Yardas had the streets buzzing in 2006 with his hit single Bullet featuring Mr. Easy, Noah wid di Powah & Ricky Blaze on the Wipe Out Riddim. A certified club banger with a grassroots buzz that started in the streets of Brooklyn, New York with the help of Steelie Bashment’s Waah Gwaan Radio. The Streets had spoken thus earning the single spins on Hot 97 and Power 105 the two top stations for Hip Hop & R&B in the New York Tri-State area. The momentum continued thru 2007 where Donny performed in packed dance clubs throughout the New York Tri-State area. Donny also graced the stage at The ING New York City Marathon then went on tour in the US Virgin Islands as the opening act for Reggae star Sizzla. A native of Manchester, Jamaica. Donny’s love affair with reggae music began when him eye deh a him knee. He spun records from his father’s and uncle’s sound system before realizing that it was his destiny to rock crowds for a living. Although influenced by a versatile range of music legends such as Shabba Ranks, Super Cat, Notorious B.I.G, Bounty Killer, Lionel Richie, Dennis Brown, Bob Marley, Jay-Z, Nas, General Echo, Terror Fabulous, Beenie Man, Capleton and Air Supply, Donny has learned to formulate a unique style all his own. In 2001 he recorded with Article One productions out of Flatbush, Brooklyn under the name “Vengeance.” This was a great learning experience for the young artist as he recorded and performed alongside Brooklyn Legend Screechie Dan one of the founding members of the Ruff Entry crew, the same crew that launched the career of reggae super star Shaggy. The following year Donny decided to enroll himself into The Borough of Manhattan Community College (BMCC) where he majored in Computer Information Systems. He joined the Caribbean Students Association and toured the east coast’s college circuit, performing before packed college campuses. The experience was a great one, as it allowed him to sharpen his live performance skills. Fast forward to June 2008 where Donny is creating waves with his self titled debut album which is available on Apple iTunes, Rhapsody and all major digital music distributors. He recently opened for Sean Kingston at Jamaica Day 2008 in NYC. Stay tuned for more feel good and conscious music from Donny Yardas as he progresses on his musical journey.
