ABOUT
D.B.L.
"He’s a hardworking artist who learned the business through me. He’s a great dancer and an incredible entertainer." — Jackie Jackson, The Jacksons (Billboard Magazine)
D.B.L., founder and CEO of Roxxstar Entertainment, transforms creative visions into career assets through masterful consulting, expert PR and innovative music services.
A SAG-AFTRA performer known as Donny B. Lord, he lit up screens for Disney, HBO, Fox, and CBS, starring in commercials for Pepsi, Cheerios, and Footlocker. Notably, he portrayed young Hank Gathers in Final Shot: The Hank Gathers Story, a true-life television drama, and has been featured in L.A. Times, The New York Times, Orange County Register, among others.
"I've learned from some of the best," says D.B.L. crediting his start to his aunt, acclaimed St. Lucian songstress Sandra Lord.
To be a well rounded performer, he was encouraged to train extensively in everything from ballet, modern, jazz, and tap, to martial arts, acting and voice.
Under the mentorship of Jackie Jackson, his path in music flourished —a relationship highlighted in Michael Jackson, Inc. by Forbes senior editor Zack O’Malley Greenburg (Atria Books, 2014, p. 173).
D.B.L.’s eclectic blend of R&B, pop, and reggae has been licensed for TV shows — including Timbaland’s son’s televised birthday party — and for global ad campaigns with CBS, MTV, Motorola, Verizon, and others.

In 2019, D.B.L. released his Come Back Home EP and returned to his native St. Lucia where he met with the Prime Minister, donated to local schools, and mentored at-risk youth. Back in Las Vegas, where he now lives, he received an official endorsement by Mayor Carolyn Goodman, with performances and appearances on 8Now & Fox 5.
Shaped by his experiences living, performing and traveling across the U.S., Canada, the Caribbean, the U.K., Europe, and even the indigenous Papua New Guinea, D.B.L. brings a truly global perspective to Roxxstar.
He also embraces his island roots, finding peace in the water, and embodying the core principles of discipline, focus, and passion that he has developed as a lifelong martial artist. He also enjoys hiking, cycling, playing soccer and basketball, and channeling his artistic energy through cooking.
