Two years after winning the hearts of viewers of The Voice UK, 18-year-old Donel is prepping for an American arrival via a record deal with Warner and publishing pact with Sony/ATV.
After meeting Donel in a London session, Artistry Records Founder & CEO Max Gousse was so impressed by Donel during a London recording session, he signed him to a publishing and record deal on the spot. JV deals led to him signing with Warner Records and Sony/ATV in the U.S.
Currently working on his first EP for Artistry/Warner with his next single planned for release later this year, he signed his deals via Zoom.
