Donae'o

Donae’o aka Ian Greenidge was always destined to make a career out of music after growing up in a house where melodies were a major force. His mother was a singer and as a youngster growing up in north west London it was common place for her to be heard belting out tunes in the house. A young Donae’o was also a regular companion when she was out performing and loved soaking up the atmosphere. In fact you could say this is where he felt most at home.

With a list of collaborators that includes Giggs, Fredo, Dizzee Rascal and JME, Donae'O is the artist holding down London's underground. The producer, songwriter, rapper and vocalist has been an early adopter of almost all crucial urban movements coming out of the capital - from garage to grime to the UK funky to Afrobeats - that continues to influence today's sounds.
