Howard Donald

Howard Donald intrigues me because he is far more than a Take That vocalist. Singer, ballet dancer, pianist, DJ and producer all in one person is an unusually broad palette, and I suspect his real artistry lives in the dancing and production rather than the spotlight. He reads to me as the quieter, craftsman type within the group, the kind who shapes the sound without demanding attention. Serving as a judge on a German talent show confirms his range. I have a soft spot for these understated multi-instrumentalists who hold a band together from the wings.
