Artist History
Don was born and raised in Long Beach, California. He plays keyboards, piano and guitar, sings, composes and arranges music, and is a recording technician. His musical background began as a choirboy in junior high school. This endeavor continued until he graduated Bachelor of Music from California State College in Long Beach. He was a regularly featured composer in the music department with several recitals to his credit. During that time he was a member of the celebrated Acapella Choir, directed by Frank Pooler. Don worked regularly with the Carpenter’s during that period. Since graduation, Don has involved himself in music in many venues. His band, Clovis Putney, enjoyed great success, including first place in the Hollywood Battle of the Bands. During the second half of the ‘70s Don became involved with contemporary Christian music. He quit Clovis Putney to join the Christian music group, Jedediah, which was led by Alan Barrington. Jedediah toured the Western United States and Canada for Myrr Records.. During this same time Don was a member of the Celebration Singers directed by Don Norville and aired weekly on TV.It was while touring with the band Jedediah that Don was introduced to the Solid Rock Foundation in Bakersfield, Ca. Eventually he moved there to become the music minister at Calvary Chapel Bakersfield. During that period of time he produced the album called "Let All Who Hath Breath Praise the Lord" that was distributed by Maranatha! Records.It was also during that time that Don began to write more serious music based on the Book of Revelation. It was his hope to canonize its entirety in music. During the mid ‘80s Don formed the singing group Selah who produced the successful album "Stop and Think About It." After that undertaking was completed, the group took on Don’s Revelation Project and eventually produced a good portion of the book in public performance. The results were successful and widely acclaimed. Much of the results of that work are now being released on this page.In the most recent years Don and his wife Vanessa have been building a very successful Internet music business. Their production group, Wigtune Company, has enjoyed many #1 MP3.com songs and is a major player in the Contemporary Christian field.
