ABOUT
D.B.L.
"He’s a hardworking artist who learned the business through me — a great dancer and an incredible entertainer." — Jackie Jackson, The Jacksons (Billboard Magazine)
D.B.L., founder of Roxxstar Entertainment, first began his career under the guidance of his aunt, singer-performer and songwriter Sandra Lord, after his mother Allison, a classically trained professional dancer, recognized his talent. Encouraged by his family to pursue formal training — he studied ballet, modern, jazz, and tap dance, along with martial arts, acting, and voice.
As child performer Donny B. Lord he booked roles for Disney, HBO, Fox, and CBS — most notably portraying young Hank Gathers in Final Shot: The Hank Gathers Story — while fronting national campaigns for Pepsi, Cheerios, and Foot Locker.
Featured in the Los Angeles Times, The New York Times, and the Orange County Register, among others he soon captured the attention of music legend Jackie Jackson.
Rooted in a close familial bond with Jackie Jackson, D.B.L. honed his craft under Jackson’s mentorship, expanding into songwriting, production, and piano, percussion, and guitar — a formative chapter chronicled in Michael Jackson, Inc. by Forbes senior editor Zack O’Malley Greenburg (Atria Books, 2014).
D.B.L.’s music — a dynamic blend of Afrobeats, R&B, pop, and reggae — has been licensed across television and major advertising campaigns including for CBS, MTV, Motorola, and Verizon.

In 2018, D.B.L. signed to Critically Amused, the label founded by Jackie Jackson, releasing Another Round and the Island Vibez EP, executive produced by Jackson.
With his international fan base expanding, D.B.L.’s follow-up Come Back Home EP brought him back to St. Lucia, where he met the Prime Minister, donated to schools, and mentored at-risk youth. Back in Las Vegas, he received an official endorsement from the Mayor for enriching the city’s cultural landscape, further amplified by major performances and interviews on 8Now & Fox 5.
Released on October 17, 2025, D.B.L.’s latest single Time To Break Away was written by him, executive produced by Roxxstar, and produced by Tra’zae Clinton — multi-instrumentalist, producer, and grandson of funk legend George Clinton.
Available in over 300 countries and highlighted on Vishi's Views blog, the project blends art and activism into a universal rhythm — with driving percussion, soldier-like foot stomps, and uplifting chants that pulse like a march for change.
Performing and traveling across the U.S., the Caribbean, the U.K., and Europe, D.B.L. has developed a sharp global perspective grounded in his island Dougla heritage. Outside of music, he channels his energy into cooking, swimming, and martial arts — practices that reinforce his focus and dedication.
A disciplined and driven student, D.B.L. attended Brentwood School, graduated from the American School in London (U.K.), and went on to earn honors at USC Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism, solidifying a foundation for his multifaceted career.
Through Roxxstar, D.B.L. empowers creatives by combining music, consulting and strategic PR to elevate their vision and reach.
"At Roxxstar, you’re not just investing in a company — you’re investing in experience,” affirms D.B.L.
