His Story
Through the influence of NYC legends Kool DJ Red Alert, Mr. Magic and Marley Marl, in 1989
Dondre "Donni-Oh!" Phoenix began his 35 year adventure on the wheels of steel.
Basketball was Donni-Oh!'s plan "A" and music was his plan "B". After a stellar high school career, averaging 25.8 ppg 7 apg and 2 spg, in 1989, Donni-Oh! was chosen as one of the top 500 high school basketball players in the nation. He was also selected as a McDonald's High School Basketball All-American nominee.

From High School & Beyond
After receiving letters of interest from top schools such as Michigan, St. John's, Penn State, Syracuse, South Carolina, Wake Forest and Seton Hall, he narrowed his list of potential colleges to Boston College, Rutgers, Fordham University, George Washington and Delaware, but he surprised everyone by staying home and chose the University of Maryland-Eastern Shore. There he earned All-MEAC honors, was third in the conference in 3-point percentage, at 50 percent and was University of Maryland-Eastern Shore Male Athlete of the Year.
Professionally, in 1993, Donni-Oh! played on the Atlanta Hawks' NBA Summer League team. He also played in the CBA with the Columbus Horizon, Quad City Thunder. In 1995, it was onto the ABA with the Lehigh Valley Lightning and in 1999 it was the USBL's Long Island Surf. He also played in Washington, DC's Summer Pro/Am Kenner League for 3 years.
