   Donna Mogavero has a history in Columbus Ohio. She has been performing music for over twenty years which has labeled her an icon, a legend a "diva" and a big fish in a little sea. To label her music is another animal. Her voice is thick and smokeyn yet soft and crystal clear, powerful yet tender. She is a competent rhythm guitar player, preferring a standard tuning, which has set her apart from many of today's "singer/songwriters". Her songs are colorful reflections of the times at hand written with either a country beat, as a folk song, a bluesy ballad or straight up rock n roll.

   In 1992 Donna was one of four, and the only woman, to win the first annual Recorded Music Grant presented by Metropolis Recording Studio. The Columbus Edge Readers Poll voted Donna #1 singer/songwriter; #1 favorite vocalist, female. In 1994 Donna was the recipient of four honors in The Greater Columbus Music Awards. "Outstanding Acoustic Solo Performance", "Outstanding Folk Singer Vocalist", " Outstanding Rock Singer Vocalist and "Talent Deserving Wider Recognition", won the honor of "Best Female Vocalist" in the Columbus Guardian readers poll. Unlike any other local musician Donna Mogavero is best known for her original music and it

could be said that she is Columbus's own female "singer/songwriter". A standard not easily acquired. Her talent as a songwriter has brought her wider recognition in the "singer/songwriter" world.
