His musical style ranges from Pop, Rock’n’Roll, to Reggae and Ballads. His influences include The Beatles, Prince, Bob Marley, Queen, Michael Jackson & Black Uhuru. Donalds claims: “My father informed as a professor of Theology and Psychology to the Princeton University (New Jersey), in Atlanta, London and New York. The Campus was my playground, I was exposed to the most diverse humans and cultures, which affected my musical development. Additionally I got classical music training as a child and sang in the boy‘s choir. Naturally my parents would have preferred me to pursue an academic career, but I was always the rebel of the family and I knew that this is not my way of life.” Meeting Eric Foster White, debut album and follow-up Directly after school 18 years old Andru travelled to England, Holland and New York, in order to develop his musical qualities as singer and songwriter. Meantime he became acquainted with the producer and songwriter Eric Foster White, who had his first hits with stars such as Whitney Houston or Regina Bell. Together they produced the debut album “Andru Donalds”. The two singles “Mishale” and “Save Me Now” became a worldwide success. The second album “Damned, If I Don’t” was published two years later in 1997. Donalds: „We did not want to deliver a poor copy of “Mishale”, but show our advancement, and the pressure of the public was very large”. The song “Somebody’s Baby” was also selected for the original soundtrack for Matt Damon’s Oscar-winning movie “Good Will Hunting”.

My main thing is to give the people enjoyment and something to touch their heart and soul. I’ve never been the one to stick to one thing just because I need a hit record, or I would have sold out and done anything just to get on radio and TV. I prefer to suffer and do good music!”
