Donna Marie is a Wexford born singer/songwriter, she could be considered an "overnight" sensation if you leave out the fact that she is 16 long years since she first stepped on stage (aged just eleven) with her bass guitar and distinctive voice to join the family band. 

The livewire from Enniscorthy benefits from having been surrounded with music from birth.

She was on the local school choir and was pushed forward to sing the solo parts.

Which encouraged her at aged 11 to record her first song "Angel" by The Kelly Family, in studio to feature on her parent’s cassette, which was followed by a 4-hour bass guitar lesson from her mother and her first live gig that same night. She continued to gig with her parents for a few years that’s where her country roots came from!

She then moved on to become a member of the southeast's legendary band "Breeze Junkie/Breeze52" and made the transfer from a talented and key band member to a leading solo artist.

The first big move in this direction was several appearances on RTE followed by the release of her debut Single "Simple Song" in April 2010, which made it into the Irish Charts the week of release. Described by the press as "An Infectious Foot Tapper" "Sometimes The (Simple) Things Are Best", and " very unique". Donna Marie’s musical aspirations are slated to be very much on an up.

A second single "I Can't See It" was released in April 2011 along with her first music video on >> YouTube.

Donna Marie penned the song ‘Little Angel’ with her partner Michael Cloke which served to raise both substantial money and awareness on the topic of abducted children.

A country single “Just Someone I Used to Know” (LittleAngelMusic) was released by Donna Marie & Michael J Cloke dropped on Sept 24, 2015 (Amazon UK | IE iTunes | Amazon.com)

Single and video "I'm Missing You" aired on the Phil Mack Country Show (Sky/Freesat) in September 2013

Donna Marie has shared stages with such artists as, Davey Artur & The Furys, Brian Kennedy, Derek Ryan, Michael J Cloke , Gerry Carney, The Saw Doctors, The Jades, David O Connor, The Druids and many more along with her own nationwide gigs and performances on live TV, Radio, Festivals and internet shows.

Donna Marie and her band also provided the half time entertainment for the capacity 18,000 attendance at a crucial Leinster v Edinburgh Magners League rugby showdown in the RDS.

After suffering from vocal nodules for 2 years she returned to the studio to record new tracks.

New single "Life Is Good" was self-released on June 16, 2017.
