Details:
a young, handsome singer, songwriter, musician, producer, dancer and all-around entertainer â perhaps a child prodigy who didnât get his break into the big league until now.
At the age of 19 and signed to Akonâs KonLive label, Colby is generating a great deal of excitement with club DJs, on the radio and internet with his first single, âWhat You Gotâ featuring Akon, taken from his debut titled, Colby O. He is already a hit on the roadâperforming to packed club venues in Southern California, the Bay Area, Bakersfield, Las Vegas, Detroit, and San Jose, Calif. (where he recently performed to a for- women-only audience); while the single has already broken at stations such as the venerable KPWR-FM [Power 106] in Los Angeles.
Born in New York City to Puerto Rican parents, Colby spent a great deal of time during his childhood living in Orlando, Floridaâarguably the countryâs haven for breaking teen artists. By the age of 9, he was already working with Platinum producers Full Force [Lisa Lisa & Cult Jam, Backstreet Boys, NâSync] who shopped his demos to a circuit of record labels, and produced his song, âMouse in the House,â featured on the Stuart Little soundtrack.
The initial persistence didnât quite evolve into the expected success, but that didnât stop Colby from continuing down his desired path. Both he and his family were committed to making this dream happen. âI remember how hungry I was back then, and Iâm even hungrier today,â states Colby. âIâm so thankful to have such supportive parents as well as a sister who helped to pay for my guitar lessons, which is a big part of what I do.â
Colbyâs formal music training with the guitar under the tutelage of Johan Oiested, a player in Carlos Santanaâs rhythm section, has transformed him into a virtual musical threat. Heâs also learned to play the piano, and is a true showman who has strengthened his dancing and stage presentation, and had one-time even considered signing a recording deal with singer-songwriter Babyfaceâuntil a career-altering meeting with Akon occurred. Akon was immediately impressed with the young prodigy, and the rest as they say is history in the making.
Colby has been producing music since the age of 12, further allowing his collaborations with Akon to stand out more. His debut album has pretty much been a self-contained effort, with the lionâs share of writing and production done primarily between him and Akon. âWeâve recorded so many songs for this projectâmaybe forty or soâit was hard to get it down to a manageable number,â says Colby. âThe writing process has been so much fun, and it has been great working with Akon. On the real, he is a very humble guy.â
Together the pair has created a collection of songs that Akon says are âbeyond definitionâ¦we are doing whatever is hot,â says Akon. âColby is my secret weapon.â Listeners will find those words to ring true after checking out such guaranteed smashes like âSophisticated Bad Girl,â and âDonât Turn Back.â Colby would say, though, that the music has elements of R&B, Pop, Hip-Hop, even Latin guitar flavors. âMy shows will include all of these styles,â says Colby. âPerforming and entertaining is what I live for. I want to be able to show the fans that Iâm a ârealâ musician as well as a singer and dancer. â
Colby will get that chance sooner than laterâwith artists such as Michael Jackson, Usher and Justin Timberlake cited as some of his idols, audiences are hungry for a fresh talent who can take up the mantle of those aforementioned superstars.
Colby OâDonis is primed and ready to answer the call!
