Greetings all! Thanks for stopping by! My name is Donna Lynn Brewer and I am a songwriter whose dream is to write for other artists! I was born and raised in good ol' Oklahoma and I enjoy writing and performing any kind of Christian music! I hope you enjoy my little corner of the Soundclick world! God Bless!!!!!!
Why this name?
Actually it is kinda silly!!! My pen name as an author is "Brewer," and the reason is because I LOVE the smell of coffee brewing! You know what's funny though? I don't drink coffee!!!! As for the Donna Lynn, well that's My real first and middle name!!!!!!
Do you play live?
I am just now embarking on trying to speak live and sing live. I don't know if I like it yet. I am a bit nervous about it. Once I get some special moments I will write about them!
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
I thnk it is terrific, and I think it gives up-and-coming artists a better chance to be heard! I LOVE IT!
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Well, to be honest, what I wish and have always wished, even at 8 years old, is that I could write for other people. I LOVE for someone to come to me and say HEY DONNA I have an idea for a song but don't know where to go from here, and I need your help. I also have SEVERAL (try 3 or 4 hundred!) notebooks full of songs that I wish I could get to certain artists. But, ya know, God willing.. it will happen!!!
Band History:
I wrote my first song at eight years of age, and I have always loved acting as well. I am a published writer, and enjoy playing the piano and producing my own music.
Your influences?
My family jokes that I am lost too much in the 80's! I love the more zany songs of Amy Grant "back in the day," and I am very impressed with bands like Point of Grace, FFH, and most of all, the Newsboys. I hope that I can write at least one song for each of them someday. Wow! I get weak in the knees just "thinking" about doing something like that!!!!!
Favorite spot?
I LOVE the Jefferson Memorial in DC. BEAUTIFUL at night with the lights reflecting on the water.. I also LOVE Six Flags over Texas!!!! Thrill rides.... I could spend all day there, and have MANY times!
Equipment used:
piano, synthesizers, myself, sound effect boards - and yes, sometimes the all too familiar "band in a box" but ya know.... ya gotta start somewhere!
Anything else...?
Hey, I want to talk serious for a moment to anyone reading this that is hurting or feeling a deep set regret for something they've done that they can't change. My friend I have been there. I made some horrible life decisions that led me to a homeless shelter for nine months. I thought God had left me, oh but friend He didn't leave me and I promise you He has not left YOU! Keep the faith and email me for ANYTHING at all and I will do my best to encourage you. I will pray with you and share my story, and hopefully instill some comfort in you to overcome the pain. God BLESS you and peace to all!
