Some basics about Donnie: Donnie is a 28 year old guy from Berlin. He majors in German studies and philosophy at the university of Potsdam. When Donnie was a child he became a member of the Schaumburg Youth Choir. There he learnt to play his first chords on the piano and to deal in a most subconcious way with harmonic structures. And why this name? Because of the brilliant movie ´Donnie Darko´. We are living in a world where schizophrenia is quite normal. Meanwhile the movie ´Donnie Darko´ is a great piece of American and also German culture, ´cause a lot of people know it and why is that? - ´cause our societies have the same ****in´ problems, Donnie thinks.
