Donovan Alexander grew up in a Christian home. His father and mother both serve the Lord and his father is a retired pastor of his home church, Epping Assembly of God. Their salvation is however not a guarantee for his eternal life, so when he was 16 years old he made a personal commitment to serve Jesus during a youth camp. He recalls, “I wept bitterly that day, but my life changed forever”.
Donovan has always been a quiet person and he says, “There’s nothing wrong with that, however, it is a problem when you let shyness stand in the way of what God wants to do through your life. Someone once encouraged me with these words of Nelson Mandela:
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful
beyond measure. It is our light, not our
darkness, that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant,
gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are
you not to be? You are a child of God. Your
playing small does not serve the world.”
Donovan also notes that in God’s Word He reminds us of how special we are:
“I praise You because I am fearfully and wonderfully made. (Ps 139:14a)
What is man that You are mindful of him? You made him a little lower than the heavenly beings and crowned him with glory and honour. (Ps 8: 4-5)
My desire is to serve Jesus until the day of His return.”

If something breaks, you could be spending a lot of time and money cleaning your pool unless you can diagnose and fix the problem.

Hi Donovan,

It is wonderful to find other artists here on IAC who are fired up for our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
God bless you brother and keep up the wonderful work praising our living God with your music.

Your sister in Christ,

3.Musical Influences
Most of Donovan’s musical influences are from secular artists. These influences have however not shaped his spiritual values as he prefers to look to Jesus for spiritual inspiration instead. His two favourite secular artists are Lionel Richie and James Ingram.
“I think Lionel Richie is one of the most prolific songwriters/singers/ producers of our time and James Ingram is a phenomenal singer. I also listened to the music of Billy Joel, Elton John and Bruce Hornsby when I was growing up. Secular music is often a controversial topic in Christian circles. I guess one has to stay grounded in one’s Faith and have a proper perspective on things. I believe one should stay clear from music that is contrary to God’s Word. There are so many songs that deal with lust, adultery, fornication, self exaltation, degrading of women, and the list goes on and on. On the other hand there are many beautiful songs that are sincere and deal with relationships between family and friends, our environment and God.” says Donovan.
His favourite Gospel group is undoubtedly The Winans. He was introduced to their music by one of his cousins when he was a teenager. Today he still enjoys their music even though they stopped recording many years ago. Other of his favourite artists are Fred Hammond, Yolanda Adams, Richard Smallwood, Hezekiah Walker and Ray Boltz. He is also very fond of traditional Gospel music such as Hymns, Negro Spirituals and Afrikaans Koortjies.
