Born in Tacoma, Glaude grew up listening to George Clinton's Parliament Funkadlic and R&B radio. His musical instrument of choice was the upright base and he spent four years studying classical music. Any aspirations Donald had to be a classical bassist vanished when he heard his first house record. Before he began mixing, Glaude amassed a large record collection. His desire to share the music he loved with the rest of us motivated him to learn how to DJ. Living in Tacoma, which lacked a club scene at the time, Glaude taught himself to mix with a pair of mismatched turntables and a Radio shack mixer. He began to DJ anywhere he could in the Seattle and Tacoma area, working the same clubs as another up-and-coming DJ by the name of Dan. Together DJ Dan and Donald sparked the rave scene in Seattle and have developed large underground followings. Before Glaude, few DJ's had attempted to spin using house records. Glaude pioneered this technique and his ability and mechanics set new standards and gave birth to a new style. While other DJ's are content to replicate what is already out, Glaude instead creates new sounds and continues to innovate. Along with DJ Dan, Glaude remains one of the most requested DJs in the Northwest. A big reason Donald's fans are so devoted is his signature vibrant style. Glaude's beats are precise and his breaks clean. In addition to his technical mastery, Glaude enjoys his music as much as his audience does. In the midst of a jam, Glaude joins the crowd, jumping up and down while waving his arms in the air. His facial expressions reflect the complete outpouring of emotion in his music. The best way to experience Donald Glaude is in person. A fan of music as well as an accomplished DJ, Glaude continues to provide the best evening around. In between releases (with moonshine.com) and the demands of his rigorous touring schedule, Donald has been concentrating his efforts on producing singles, such at "Soul Cha Cha" and "To The Soul", both of which can be found on his latest Moonshine effort, "Mixed Live". In early 2001, Donald, along with his business partner, Bradley Eklund, have launched Respect Recordings - the first single off this imprint is "Blue #1" which is very reflective of Donald's live sound. www.donaldglaude.net www.edenrecordings.net www.moistmusic.com Ruby Skye 420 Mason St. @ Geary San Francisco, CA www.rubyskye.com |
