DI DONNA The artist Born in Caracas Venezuela, Hector Di Donna ( popularly known as simply "Di Donna" to his fans worldwide) was introduced to music at the early age through his mother, a piano teacher. When she noticed young Hector singing along to Nestors Zavarce's " La tarde gris" ( Grey Aternoon)," she began giving him introductory classes on musical theory and melodic structure; soon, Di Donna was composing simple songs influenced by a wide variety of cultures. "
At home," Di donna explains, " we had an old vertical English piano that was originally a pianola. After school, I would spend long hours improvising melodies and simple songs; it seemed to me that music came from space or other dimensions. When I was five or six years orld, I began creating music that was distinctively Chinese in style; each note had its own worth, color, texture and sensation, almost as if they all had personalities and individuality. Playing this original music, I felt as if I'd discovered an ocean of possibility. I could spend 4 to 5 minutes just playing a single note; but in my head I was hearing a thousand notes, a thousand stories, a thousang landscapes. Of course, the sound of me hitting the same note over and over was excrutiating for my family!" Some of these early childhood works became the basis for songs on FENG SHUI. If he had one thing to tell everyone in the world, it would be " Let music be the key to a new universe."
