DONALD RIOS IS THE SONGWRITER OF THE DUO WAS BORN AND RAISED IN THE SUNNY STATE OF CALIFORNIA AND HAS GROWN UP LISTENING TO MUSIC SINCE HE CAN REMEMBER. FAMILY MEMBERS ALWAYS SAY THAT HE WAS BORN SINGING AND DANCING. THE FIRST TIME HE FELL IN LOVE WITH MUSIC WAS AT THE AGE OF 4 WHEN HE FIRST HEARD MARIAH CAREY'S DEBUT ALBUM. EVER SINCE THAT DAY MUSIC HAS BEEN A BIG PART OF DONNY'S LIFE. HIS INFLUENCES BROADENED AS HE GREW UP AND EXPANDED HIS EAR. HE IS A LISTENER OF ALL GENRES FROM HIP HOP TO COUNTRY, R & B SOUL TO CHORAL, REGGAE TO SAMBA, FORRO TO ROCK. DURING HIGH SCHOOL HE WAS HEAVILY INVOLVED WITH CHOIR AND HAS TOURED ALL OVER EUROPE AND THE UNITED STATES. A TURNING POINT IN HIS LIFE IS WHEN HE DECIDED TO LEAVE HIS FAMILY, FRIENDS, SCHOOLING, AND HIS MUSIC AT THE AGE OF 19 TO DEDICATE 2 YEARS OF MISSION SERVICE FOR HIS CHURCH IN BRAZIL WHERE HE WAS AQUAINTED WITH GREAT PEOPLE, A NEW CULTURE, LEARNED PORTUGUESE, AND RECIEVED A STRONGER FAITH IN THE LORD JESUS CHRIST. TO DONNY, A DECISION LIKE THAT WASN'T HARD TO MAKE AND IN MANY WAYS HAS MADE HIM THE PERSON HE IS TODAY. THROUGHOUT HIS EXPERIENCE IN BRAZIL HE KNEW THAT HE HAD TO DO SOMETHING WITH MUSIC. WHEN HIS MISSION CONCLUDED AND IT WAS TIME TO COME BACK HOME TO THE UNITED STATES AND BE WITH HIS FAMILY ONCE AGAIN- EVEN THOUGH HE DID NOT WANT TO- HE KNEW HE HAD TO GET RIGHT BACK INTO THINGS AND START ON HIS EDUCATION AND WORK ON HIS MUSIC. HE WAS REUNITED WITH WARREN AND THE TRAKETEKS WERE ONCE AGAIN BACK INTO BUSINESS TOGETHER. DONNY IS CURRENTLY GOING TO SCHOOL FULL-TIME AND IS PART OF THE RECORDING TECHNOLOGY PROGRAM AT CITRUS COLLEGE AND IS A MEMBER OF THE AUDIO ENGINEER SOCIETY. HE IS ALSO WORKING DILIGENTLY ON MUSIC AND IS READY TO SHOW THE WORLD WHAT HE HAS TO OFFER BUT AT THE SAME TIME READY TO DO WHATEVER IT IS THAT THE LORD WILL HAVE HIM DO. THE TRAKETEKS WOULD LIKE EVERYONE TO GIVE THEM POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE FEEDBACK ON THERE MUSIC AND HOPES THAT EVERYONE WILL ENJOY IT AS WELL.AS WELL AS GIVE THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR TAKING THE TIME TO LISTEN GOD BLESS!!!!
