'New Donald' has musicians shook and confused
Watch out, Donald! You might just have competition for that red mic.
An artist hoping to break into the music industry sparked shock and confusion this week when he named himself after award-winning musician Donald.
The young hopeful took to social media to promote his new song, which shares similarities to a hit by his more famous namesake.

Attempts to contact the veteran Donald for comment were unsuccessful but perhaps someone can organise a collab with the two.
