Donnie Sunshine is bringing queer joy to club music
East London DJ Donnie Sunshine talks getting selected for Coke Studio and GAY TIMES’ Breakthrough campaign and bringing brightness and joy to dance music WORDS BY ZOYA RAZA-SHEIKH IN PARTNERSHIP WITH COKE STUDIO Coke Studio and GAY TIMES are collaborating for the second year running to celebrate upcoming queer talent as part of our new music Breakthrough campaign; an ongoing collaboration that gives unsigned LGBTQIA+ musicians and allies, within the UK and Ireland, the opportunity to break into the industry.
We all know it’s not easy to get into a new career without some help. So, we’ve teamed up with Coke Studio to connect hand-selected talented queer acts and allies as part of our Breakthrough series, bringing much-needed new unsigned artists to wider audiences.
Last year, we documented the musical journey of Celaviedmai, Callum Crighton, Lleo, and Keanan as our first-time Breakthough acts.
Now, we’re ready to introduce you to our class of 2024. Next up we’ve got Donnie Sunshine (he/him), a high-energy DJ who’s lit up stages everywhere from Somerset House and Pxssy Palace to Mighty Hoopla.
