Donnie B. Got Da Beats on SoundBetter

Greetings! My name is Donnie B. GotDaBeats. I started producing professionally at 17 years old. At 23, I had produced for multiple recording artists from Washington, DC, New York, & Philadelphia. In my 30's, I've had time to fine tune my skills and compile my accomplishments.

I can produce quality music in an amazing amount of time. I have close to two decades of producing and mixing experience, and time recording at a professional level in the Music Industry. I am proficient in Pro tools, Logic, Cuebase, Fruity Loops, and Studio One. I am also highly skilled at vocal production and arranging. If you're seeking a name, I'm sure that you may look past me. If you're seeking talent, I'm sure that you shouldn't pass me up. My best production work is done live and real time with artists.

Tell me about your project and how I can help, through the 'Contact' button above.
