Donnie Klang

Donald Joseph Klang (born on January 23, 1985), better known as Donnie J., is a music producer, singer, model, television actor, dancer, and performer from Brooklyn, New York. He is best known as a contestant MTV's Making the Band 4. He was awarded his own solo contract by Diddy instead of a spot in the group.

Making The Band 4

Donnie was awarded a contract with the group "Day 26" of Making the Band 4. Donnie quickly made an impression on choreographer Laurie Ann Gibson at the New York City Making the Band auditions. She commented on his poor dancing capabilities stating, "I don't even believe this is the N.Y. I'm a little disgusted right now... but I'm not mad at the white boy, though." At the New York City auditions, he also impressed Diddy's "Dream Team" with his charisma when Laurie Ann Gibson asked Donnie to strike a pose. However, he seems to doubt himself a bit when he says, "My singing and my dancing definitely both need work. I think something that's helped me get through it is my presence... my performance." Also, when performing for vocal coach, Ankh Ra Amenhetep, he stated, "I was very nervous about the notes I'm singing... am I going to hit this next note? In one episode of Making the Band 4, the boys had less than a day to learn a dance routine before elimination night. Diddy told 2 people in his performing group to join the "Maybe can dance" section, and Donnie made a comment stating, "Really?" in disbelief that he can't dance. In the end, Diddy allowed him to stay in the house due to his unique voice, but warned him, "Don't ever let that happen again." Donnie responded, "I'm sorry. It will never happen again." August 26, 2007 Diddy chose his 5 man group which included Robert, Qwanell, Willie, Brian A, and Mike. Donnie had come in first place with the most votes followed by Willie, and Mike. Even though he didn't make the band he was offered a solo artist contract with Bad Boy Ent.
