Producer, artist, engineer,etc. Donnie G. - Shepherd Boy - Artist Native Houston born and Fort Bend County Raised began my life in darkness and now walking in the light. Many things I have seen and still much to see. I have witnessed up close and personal what surprises can unfold in time as I walk this line. I think it is important to say why my name is, as it is. I found in this life it is better to be given a good name, than it is to choose it for your self. My name was given by a person who notice my character as a person who would not let the crew go. Out in to the fields with out saying a prayer for safety, for guidance in doing the job intended for the purpose of being done well. Though I have to admit, I would be in the mist of a man who also prayed as I did. For similar reasons. It just stuck with me, to pray for a blessing over those who surrounded me. Even if they wasn't any where near me I learned it was good to pray for them any way. In my years before the name was given. I found my self to be in darkness. I had no worries, no cares. I went to church as any one else would. I really didn't think much for heaven and hell. Just out there having fun, lost. You've heard the stories before. Only that the testimony of each individual is different. A many times i had things happen and few encounters of the super natural. Just not knowing what it was at those times. I believe my Mother would say she prayed a fence of safety around me. I still hadn't' grasped what she was telling me. She always would be singing gospel songs and listening to the Mighty Clouds of Joy, and Al Green singing highway to heaven. I remember back then. Faith come by hearing and hearing. That is so real, so true. In 1993 I had lost one of my best friends Mom, then My Father. Then my self almost. Yeah this is where I start noticing things, and recognizing although when you blind to the truth and def to the word when it is being told, you ain't sold on it. You really don't see your blessings regardless of what it is. Like my friend Kieth who would say a mans bubble rises when he is ready to rise. That happen a little before he said. I Was preaching my first sermon(not to claim it yet) ,but like I said it is rather good to be named than to choose it for your self. ( Like they say, others should be able to see Jesus in us.) That being said he saw my walk from darkness to light. Though I felt alone, it seem like I had to be by my self and nobody not even one person I knew wanted to go on the road I was to travel. I was wrong. There was a person. Jesus, times before I really did not believe, but bit by bit I kept on bumping into him. Now he had put me on another path way and I just couldn't resist the love of GOD any more. I had always wanted to push my music. It is a gift. I didn't really want to make music I had from God and then make it into something I know he wouldn't approve of. I still made tracks for those who rapped over my beats with what they chose. You are you, Who am I to say what you should do with the beat after you have bought it. I make some hints, but the buyer has his/her final say. So I felt the need to praise GOD the father In song and rap my self even if there would be no one else who felt that way.
