About
Custom quotes available for any size event.
I’m a singer, guitarist, songwriter, musician, and entertainer with over 30 years of live music experience, performing up to 140+ shows a year across venues throughout central Florida. My shows feature a wide mix of classic rock, country, new country, and contemporary hits. With or without backing tracks.
I offer full-service music entertainment, including some DJ and MC capabilities, lighting, extra microphones for announcements and toasts, break music, and a 10x10 setup with some staging for outdoor events—all at appropriate volume levels always.
I arrive prepared, professionally dressed, and equipped with quality gear. As a non-smoker and non-drinker, I focus entirely on delivering a consistent, high-quality performance with a fresh sound and an engaging atmosphere.
Let’s talk about how we can make your event memorable.

We used Donny Rox for our annual Kentucky derby party. He was phenomenal. Very professional! He came early and set up, and was very self sufficient. Kept the group very involved and played GREAT music! Would definitely use him again!

Donny is fenomenal!!!! He has a very wide array of music, his singing is clear, his playing ability is spot on. A little girl attending our event, her name is Penny Lane. Donny performed Penny Lane by the Beatles just for her. She was so excited, it melted my heart. I highly recommend Donny Rox to anyone looking for live music.

I was trying to think of something really special to pay tribute to my best friend’s mom’s life as she sadly passed of cancer in July. At the 11th hour, I had an epiphany-live music performing her favorite songs at her celebration of life! I thought it was a shot in the dark, but not only did I find someone in Donny Rox, but he was a godsend-truly spectacular! From the ease of communication, to letting me cherry-pick from his song list, kindly answering my dozens of questions and his quickness of response, I knew I lucked out! He was courteous, professional, early to set up and gracious, letting the family take the mic to give eulogies and beautiful words about one of my favorite souls. The music sounded fantastic and I couldn’t recommend Donny enough!!😊🥰❤️
