YOOO. So you may or may not know about my boy Donnie, but if you do you know one thing, he's destined for stardom. Rarely in this business do you meet someone as talented as Donnie, and even moreso humble.
Darnley Scantlebury, known to most as Donnie Scantz, is a music producer, musician and songwriter. He is the founder of State of Emergency, a music and extreme lifestyle allegiance dedicated to producing R&B, Pop, Hip-Hop and Rock. He is a two time Grammy Nominee and has worked with artists such as Aaliyah, Toni Braxton, Usher, Ludacris, J. Holiday, Danity Kane and Chris Brown. Along with his credits he is the cousin of very famous superproducer Brian Michael Cox who has produced hits for almost everyone in the business including Mary J Blige's biggest single, "Be Without You."
I met Donnie interestingly enough at the Skybar several years ago and have always maintained contact. Among producing music, and playing instruments, this man is a wizard of the computer world. He recently taught me some "tricks" with my mac that makes everyone I chat with a victim!
Along with being a talented individual, I've grown to recognize Donnie as a great father who loves his son. I'm sure with his guidance his son will grow up to be as much of a man as his father. Oh, and he's dated some fine ass women!
