Sheffey is attempting to give music back to the people...music that
has conviction and a story...music that gives good feelings and
drives positive emotions...music that you aren’t afraid your
children will listen to.
Donald Sheffey grew up
listening to and aspiring to be like some of the greats, what he
calls, the REAL artist, like Earth Wind & Fire, Marvin Gaye,
Donny Hathaway, Luther Vandross, George Benson, James Ingram, Brian
McKnight, Stevie Wonder, Gladys Knight, Patti Labelle, Eryka Badu,
Phyllis Hyman to name a few. He was also inspired by gospel music,
singing in his church choir.
Because of the broad
range of musical inspiration, Donald’s sound can be best described
as eclectic as unique with a flash back feel, energetic grooves,
and lyrics with a point, not a hook.
He believes that music
is supposed to make you feel good and he loves coming up with new
and fun ways to share it with his fans.
Donald got his first
taste of the music business as a DJ in his hometown of Pittsburgh,
PA. After a 10 year stint in sales and marketing, Donald decided
to focus himself 100% on his first true love…music. This decision
led him to New York City.
Through his years in
New York with various internships, open mics, tours, showcases,
and voice-over work, Donald learned that if you are going to be
a real artist, you need to handle your own business affairs and
become involved in the development of your career. Thus was the
birth of Weezie Productions, Donald’s full service, and self-owned
Production Company. The company is able to handle and has produced
many television and radio commercials, voice overs along with writing
and producing some of today’s best R&B, Adult Contemporary
& Dance Music.
