So what can we tell you about Donald? Well
as the saying goes, let’s start at the very beginning because
it’s a very good place to start.
Donald was born in Georgetown, Guyana, South
America on the family sofa. His mother, Pamela Meryl Kingston,
refused to go to the hospital. She’d already had two children
and decided that a doctor was unnecessary. Given how Donald has
turned out, we think she regrets making that decision.
The only boy of four siblings, Donald was drawn
to the stage at a very early age. At six years old, Donald was
invited to perform with a few other hand-picked students, for
Linden Forbes Sampson Burnham, Prime Minster of Guyana. His performance
was a rousing success. Which according to him led to his being
recruited to perform for the President of The United States –
or at least that’s how the story goes when he tells it.
According to his mom, his dad, Donald Kingston
Sr., received a once in a lifetime opportunity to immigrate to
the United States. So at a very young age, Donald and his family
migrated to the United States. He discovered that he was still
drawn to the stage and his need to perform. Under the mentorship
of his elementary school music teacher, Gwendolyn McCloud, one
of the people he most admires, Donald became a star. His childhood
performances included the role of Nathan Detroit in Frank Loesser’s
“Guys and Dolls” and Cornelius Hackle in Herman/Stewart’s
“Hello, Dolly!” In addition to singing and dancing
on stage, Donald is also a classically trained ballet dancer and
violinist. Both of which he excelled beyond expectation. However,
life has its twists and turns and under the influence of his father,
the arts were not to be.
Donald stumbled from one thing to another, trying
to satisfy his father’s definition of "success".
Though excelling at his every attempt, Donald felt very unfulfilled.
After much debate, Donald finally decided to follow his bliss
and aroused what he’s always known but kept dormant, that
he was made for the stage. So, with a new drive for life and the
support of his friends and family, Donald is returning to the
life he came to this world to live.
