After a long absence from recording as a featured artist, one of the UKs most gifted urban talents DON-E returns with a new self-produced album Try This Don-e is a perfect product of his environment rooted in the heart of Brixton, the busy multicultural London suburb where he has built his own studio and has absorbed the diversity and wealth of musical influences of the street. In recent years he has been focusing primarily on writing and producing for other artists, among them Shaun Escoffery, Mica Paris, Beverley Knight, Lynden David Hall, Omar, Grace Jones, Avani and Rahsaan Patterson.

Now he feels the time is right to return with his own album. Don-e has recently returned from a US tour guesting with Omar, and has also played a number of live dates with Grace Jones. As a headliner he has enjoyed getting in front of club audiences again, notably at Londons Jazz Café, and he and his band will be out on the road performing material from the album. He signed to Island Records and released a remarkable debut album Unbreakable. Not only was he responsible for every song and arrangement, but virtually every instrument on the album was played by him. The album also featured the Top 20 hit Love Makes The World Go Round and the now classic underground club and sound system smash Unbreakable Having travelled and performed extensively internationally his unique Ragga Funk sound has caught the ear of not only emerging UK artists such as Shaun Escoffrey but also artists like DAngelo, Lauryn Hill and Mos Def.
