I’m traveling on the road and living in a minivan with my cat, opening myself up to what the Universe has to offer after many years of pulling myself and my daughter out of the damage caused by an abuser. We’re finally free! I didn’t let it take me down. Instead, it made me stronger. Beautiful songs came through during those trying years, medicine songs, songs that inspire, uplift and help people take back their power.
I hope you’ll listen to my debut album and follow me on Instagram.
If you know of anyone, I’m looking for sponsors and hosts to bring Community Mandalas to towns across America. Please check it out!
Blessings!

Testimonials
“One of Connecticut’s all time treasures. A rare talent with a powerful, rich and unique vintage country voice. You won’t want to leave.”
“A diamond in the rough!”
“Donna Gentile is just as her unique name intimates… Gentle, yet in touch with what is Relevant and happening Today. Through her own personal trials, and view of the world around her, she spins a web of grace musically that is unmistakably ‘Her.’ More than a musician, Donna provides a Window to the World of struggle… and ultimately Triumph. Whether as a motivational speaker or a musical treat, she offers the youth and adults of today her perspective on how to appreciate the Moment—with high expectation and Passion—as ‘Life is not a rehearsal’.”
“I was listening to your songs and every one of them pulled me away—out of where I sit—falling into the song—just like magic… I love your songwriting. It reveals a truth about life, as all good poetry does.”
