Donnie Klang Community

Donald Joseph Klang was born in Brooklyn, New York. His love for performing started at the age of 12. He sang in a Pop and R&B group during his years at Island Trees High School in Levittown, New York, before graduating in 2003. He has had experience singing, dancing, producing and performing around the country. He has produced and written music heard around the East Coast.

He attended Hofstra University in Hempstead, New York for a major in business degree and minor in music. Donnie decided to take a semester off of college to pursue his music career and went on tour with his group. Not very long after he returned to Hofstra University, the chance came for Making the Band 4, and he again took time off college.

In 2007, \"Sean \"Diddy\" Combs\" returned with Making the Band 4. On the show, \"Sean \"Diddy\" Combs\" let the fans vote for who they wanted in the band. Donnie came in first in the voting ballots and he still did not make the band. After the band was finally made, Donnie\'s name was not called to be in the band, but he was offered a solo artist contract on the Bad Boy label by Diddy because he showed such persistence throughout the competition. He was the only person from the show to be offered a solo contract with Bad Boy.
