Jireh lim biography of donald

HISTORY has proven that there are artists who get lucky and who spend their entire lives in-pursuit of that one break, and there are artists who just seem to be born with the gift of effortlessly fusing melodies and words together and naturally connecting with audiences of all shapes and sizes.
