JT Donaldson has been producing since the birth of Dallas' Fairpark Records in 1997. He has produced deep, soulful house music for labels such as Cajual, Cyclo, Distance, Seasons Recordings, and Push & Pull to name a few. He has worked with the likes of Spencer Kincy a.k.a. Gemini, Lance DeSardi, CPEN, Tim Shumaker of Home and Garden, and Sandy Rivera of K.O.T.
As a co-founder and in house producer for Fairpark, JT moved to Chicago from Texas after the label came to its' end. He roomed with Chicago's wild man Gemini to produce the Dialect and Duality projects, soon after he focused on the 2nd Shift project with hometown friend Tim Shumaker. After recording an album for Seasons in Los Angeles, he moved again, this time to the left coast where he is currently working and living with Lance DeSardi and Chris Penny aka CPENN.
JT got his start playing underground parties and house events throughout the city of Dallas. His skills have brought him to play at events such as DIY's "The Bomb," in Nottingham, the Quartz Festival in Norway and many stateside nights across the U.S.
He has a compilation CD for Push & Pull Music in Holland which was released in March of 2001. Also, in 2001, the 2nd Shift LP, Undercover Agency LP, a single for Naked Music, and a Music For Freaks EP were all released.
