Drawing inspiration from a childhood surrounded by the timeless records of Nat King Cole, Billie Holiday, Nina Simone, and other jazz and blues legends, Donna infuses her performances with a unique blend of sultriness, authenticity, and joy. Her vocal journey began in gospel church choirs and later expanded into musical theater with notable roles in productions like The Wiz and Who I Am Celebrating Me.

She considers her sound “jazz-adjacent,” capturing the essence of traditional jazz while bringing her own touch of warmth and humanity to every note. Now living her dream, Donna’s motto is simple: “I sing to fill my cup in hopes it spills over to you.” Follow her musical journey on Instagram @donnajonesmusicpdx or visit donnajonesmusic.com to learn more.
