It didn’t take long for Donni to pack her bags and move to Los Angeles with little money and no family or friends to greet her.

“Moving to LA was a struggle, but I took chances, used all the games people played, broken promises and lies as lyrics for my songs, that’s why people identify with me”, says Donni Rai.

Donni’s in-your-face attitude caught the attention of Oakland’s own rap icon Too Short, who saw something special in Donni, and encouraged her to start writing. She released her first cd, “Makin’em Pay”, on her independent label, Eshalon Ent. This personal triump introduced people to her skills as a writer, rapper and producer.

“My first offering ‘Makin’em Pay’, was a learning too. It allowed me to gain insight into the various aspects of packaging, and marketing a record, which prepared me to work on my current project ‘The Seduction’, with a clear vision and the skills to make it happen”, Donni explained.
