Donny Brown is a highly-acclaimed songwriter and performer who was one of the founding members and principal songwriters of The Verve Pipe, an American rock band whose albums have sold more than 3 million copies worldwide. He also recorded, produced and co-wrote two highly acclaimed family albums for the band in 2009 and 2013 – both of which ended up on the iTunes Best Of Year lists.

He recorded both of the Legal Matters releases and is now in the studio working on their third release.
