Meet Donnie SchexnayderbrbrHey! I’m Donnie Schexnayder (that’s pronounced "Shecks-Nye-Der"…try it; it’s fun!). Some people would call me a computer geek and a wanna-be rock star. I have a question for you:brbrQ: What do you get when you mix technology, spirituality and cutting-edge rock & roll?brbrA: A bad headache!brbrOK, not really. You get my special brand of alternative pop/rock that actually says something...a catchy, passionate musical combination that's engaging new listeners all over the Internet. But don’t take my word for it…check it out for yourself!brbr
Here’s what you need to know about me: I was born and raised in South Louisiana & I grew up listening to all kinds of innovative music. I taught myself to play drums, guitar, bass and keyboards and started writing songs in my bedroom when I was only 10 years old. No, I didn’t stay there…I’ve been performing live ever since for small coffee shop crowds, gatherings of over 3,000 people and lots of places in between.brbrI just finished recording two singles with my producer, Michael Rossback (available on iTunes) and I’m currently finishing up songwriting for my independent debut CD release. Stay tuned for more info coming soon.brbrGreat to meet you! Let’s keep in touch…brbrPeace,brbrDonnie
