Donovan Leitch

Donovan Leitch fascinates me as a study in inherited artistry. Son of the iconic 1960s singer Donovan and brother to actress Ione Skye, he could have leaned entirely on that name, yet he spread himself across acting, music, and directing instead. His work in bands like Camp Freddy and the neo-glam outfit Nancy Boy shows a restless creative appetite that I genuinely enjoy. There is something admirable about refusing to pick one lane. Carrying a famous surname is a heavy thing, and the way he kept forging his own identity across so many roles earns my quiet respect.
