In addition to recording seven studio albums, Jones has also released a compilation album which improved his wealth too. Have you ever wondered how rich Donell Jones is, as of late 2016? According to authoritative sources, it has been estimated that Jones’ net worth is as high as $500,000, an amount earned through his successful career in music. I am now in a relationship with a beautiful woman named Jasmine and we have a daughter that is 2.Donell Jones was born on the 22nd May 1973, in Chicago, Illinois USA, and is an R&B and soul singer and songwriter, best known for such hits as “U Know What’s Up”, “Where I Wanna Be”, and the cover of Stevie Wonder’s “Knocks Me Off My Feet”. I have been out of that relationship for a while. It’s untitled as of now.īOSSIP: How many kids do you have Donell?ĭonell: I was with my previous old lady for over a decade. But the new project is all about love, life, and real everyday things. Some of the songs people have heard and others are never heard. What was the focus behind that one and the future one?ĭONELL: The focus behind Lost Files was me being gone for a minute and wanting to give my fans a brief history of where I have been.
Its all new flavor…but its still Donell.īOSSIP: You released in November an album called The Lost Files. I got all new stuff that has been waiting. I could have put out an album, but didn’t want to do it with Jive.īOSSIP: So you got some fire now that you have just been waiting to drop?ĭONELL: Yeah man.
Like Maxwell who took his time on his album.īOSSIP: Is that sort of what happened in your case?ĭONELL: Well, it was about my label. They don’t play the real music, and don’t even realize that our following is waiting. They are playing music for the teenie boppers. So the music game gets over-saturated and washed up. See, the internet has made almost everyone a star. Teddy Pendergrass, El DeBarge, Tina Mari, Rick James and so on. I came up when there was a lot of great R&B artist.
They are young and just like hip-hop, they have changed and sort of lost the essence of it all… making a woman cry and making her feel good is what R&B is all about.īOSSIP: What do you think is fueling that lack of compassion and caring in todays music?ĭONELL: I think, there is not a lot of guidance and lack of respect enough to study what made R&B special. They don’t sing to the women with sensitivity. Not enough substance.īOSSIP: What about the new generation of R&B?ĭONELL: To be honest with you is they are talented, but they want to be rappers. To many of the R&B artist right NOW are concentrating on bling and how many girls they ran through. So, when this happened to Haiti I felt the song was really needed. When LaFace shut down all the artist went haywire.īOSSIP: What was the approach you took on this latest song, “Free”?ĭONELL: I wrote it around the time of 9/11.
They have too many R Kellys, Justin Timberlakes, Ushers, Anthony Hamiltons… I couldn’t get the push i needed. Bossip caught up with Donell Jones to find out What’s up, what’s up, what’s up, with him missing in action from R&B:ĭONELL: I was in a horrible situation with Jive.
