BETA Records - Your music matters!

Donovan Michaels Freeborn
...Has been drumming, recording & performing for audiences since 1967 when living in Germany.
Very early successes in school and local rock bands, "Hardwired" him to a life, love and career of making music.
Years of performing for audiences playing acoustic and early electric drums & percussion, bass, guitar & keys, while also fronting and singing lead & back up vocals, working six nights a week, in class-A top forty and classic rock, variety bands & some touring in Korea, Alaska, Hawaii, Canada and the U.S.; playing "the current charts", while continuing to record progressive original music on and off, with internet music pioneers, PhreeWorld, all contributed greatly to his approach to his music.

"'There's nothing like the voices of our experiences".
...of Donovan's music it has been said...;

"This is visually stimulating music".

"...makes you feel transported...like you're there".
"...sonic sculpture"

Many Thanks to Teo from Red-Cities' Black Dog studios, The Stu Pidman Band & my PhreeWorld brothers for all the musical friendship over the years, &
Many thanks to Dave Wheeler and Mark Phraner from the PhreeWorld, for their unwitting, yet inspired guitar contributions to some of these songs.
Now; Donovan is continuing to write and is combining his music with video to create unique worlds of images for his music. Stay tuned.
