I've been a circus pianist for the past few years, and that has given me a unique perspective as a performer, a player and a composer.
Thank you for generously supporting Donahue in this year's competition. Your participation allows us to empower Global Citizen in their mission to eradicate extreme poverty and create a world where everyone has an equal chance to thrive.
Who or what is your musical inspiration?
My inspirations span across decades of Pop and Rock music, along with my own unique experience as a circus pianist. I grew up on The Beatles, Men at Work and Green Day, developed a love for groups and artists like The Waitresses, Squeeze, Elvis Costello, The Cars, The B-52's, DEVO, Blondie, Talking Heads, etc when I was in college, and gained a higher appreciation for the art of the album through teaching the music of bands like Pink Floyd and The Who while working at School of Rock.
How would performing at the Global Citizen Festival impact your career?
Performing at the Global Citizen Festival would help me continue to develop my voice as an artist and start a new chapter on this journey. It would help me not only reach a wider audience, but to display the compositions I've spent many nights thoroughly composing and to tell the story I've been living through the past few years.
What would you do with $50,000?
With $50,000, I would be able to make the album I've been writing truly come to life. I'd be able to build a team to make my new compositions come to life, and take this project to the next level
