The Paper Mill

Raised off the west coast of Florida, singer/songwriter Donny Van Slee AKA Dr. Don realized at a young age that music was more than just a passion – it was his life’s art. After graduating high school in 2011, Donny started to perform at local restaurants, tiki huts, and breweries.
In 2018, Donny left his hometown to study at Palmer College of Chiropractic, located in Daytona Beach, Florida where he continued to perform live every weekend. Donny finally discovered Nashville, TN while road-tripping from Florida to Colorado to start a chiropractic internship.
After a few sent-out emails, the “World-Famous Tootsies Orchid Lounge” decided to grant him an audition. So, while Donny was driving back from Colorado to Florida to graduate from Chiropractor school, he auditioned and they hired him. That’s when Donny decided to pursue his music career and move to Nashville where he continues to write/release songs and perform at local venues around town.
