Speaking about the learnings he had on his musical journey, “I’ve learned to always stay grounded and treat everyone with respect. I think in every industry there’s big ego’s but I’ve always tried to stay away from it and focused on my goals and enjoying the ride with my friends”.
In 2018 at BBC Music’s Biggest Weekend, Donovan performed alongside the likes of Taylor Swift, Florence + The Machine, Sam Smith and more.
The initial idea of the song “Vienna” which was released in June 2019 started from his friend jack meeting a girl while they were on tour. “They pretty much instantly fell in love and couldn’t take their eyes off each other the whole night. And after that night she went back to Vienna and we carried on the tour, I thought the story was amazing so decided to write about it”
