Donnie Williams (唐尼·威廉姆斯) 是2004年全美最火爆的真人秀节目《美国偶像》(American Idol)的参赛者之一。因为成功进入第4组Finalist，朋友为他举行庆功宴会，而他也因为喝酒过多，开快车被警察抓到。结果断送美好前途，被《美国偶像》(American Idol)淘汰出局。可惜！这张是他的首张专辑，邀请了著名歌手Latoya London、Terrell Williams和Avis Nixon一起合作，感觉还不错！American Idol finalist Donnie Williams has the power to change the direction of Urban Music with his first CD for Chumpchange Records which features an incredible collection of R&B, Soul, Rap and Gospel combined with tender love songs.
