Since his debut in 2023, Donovan has consistently evolved as an artist, blending elements of pop rock, acoustic pop, and alternative music with deeply personal themes that resonate with his audience.

Early Life and Career

Donovan began his career with the release of his 5-track EP, life, in 2023. This project introduced his introspective songwriting style and marked him as an emerging voice in modern music.
