Written and recorded in a series of bedroom studios in England and France,
London-based Gareth Donkin’s extraordinary debut, Welcome Home,
showcases the 23-year-old’s stunning mix of instrumental virtuosity and
emotional intuition, blending highly sophisticated melodic and harmonic
craftsmanship with deeply moving lyrical explorations of longing, desire,
and determination. The songs here draw on soul, funk, pop, yacht rock,
hip-hop, jazz, and even bossa nova, hinting at times to everything from
Michael Jackson and Bill Evans to George Benson and Jamiroquai, and
Donkin’s performances are nothing short of mesmerizing, layering up
instrument after instrument in the best one-man-band tradition of Prince
or Stevie Wonder. The result is a moving work that’s equal parts brain and
brawn, a masterful coming-of-age self-portrait from a young artist
discovering himself—and his sound—one song at a time.

Born with perfect pitch, Donkin was already fanatically obsessed with both
jazz piano and drums before he turned twelve. In high school, he began
DJing and teaching himself to record and sample, and by the time he
headed to the Leeds College of Music to pursue a degree in production, he
was already writing and recording his own material at home. His first
single, “Catharsis,” would go on to rack up more than a million streams on
Spotify, and a series of subsequent tracks would find similarly organic
success and help land him a deal with the burgeoning drink sum wtr label.
