Akon’s Secret Weapon Colby O’Donis Strikes Again!

Colby O'DonisRemember the first time you heard Colby O’Donis?

Well, if you were like every other radio listener, you probably didn’t know his name, but you for sure could sing the hook to his infectious first single “What You Got” verbatim. Backed by one of the most powerful artist in the music industry, Akon, Colby O’Donis, at the tender age of 19, is ready to take the world by storm.

Trying to lock him into a specific category is a lot tougher than it may seem; even some of music toughest critics are hesitant to place him in the R&B or Pop genre just yet.  His music transcends many barriers that were once built by artist who stay stagnant in their craft–which is easily noticeable by the spanish version of his lead single garnering much attention as well.

Listen to music from Colby O'Donis!Watch videos from Colby O'Donis!

With his debut album “Colby O” slated to release on Konvict Music/Interscope, and his second single “Dont Turn Back” released on iTunes this past June, Mr. O’Donis is here to prove that he is here to stay, a not just another kid from Queens, NY.

Colby O'DonisWe’d like to thank Colby for taking the time to sit with TheRundown.TV’s Ashley-Marie and opening his doors to different entertainment related subjects.

Man, I used to sing the hell out this song on the way to work. I couldn’t help it. Then Akon’s Verse was kinda fly. Made me like him a little bit more. Don’t hurt that he is absolutely adorable :)) Whatever race he is. I am dying for something different. I’ll definitely be keeping my eyes on this one.

Hey Colby!
Where to start … I love your songs! ‘What You Got’ is definitely my favourite … I find myself searching for it on the radio everytime I’m in the car :p I’m also pretty sure that your songs are the most played on my iPod. They’re definitely not songs that I will get sick of anytime soon. So I’m quite a big fan, I saw that you have another contest out there where someone can win a ‘date’ with you, but since I’m not in the US, I couldn’t enter - not to mention that my luck is quite rotten with contests; I don’t think I’ve won anything before … maybe my luck will change for this one? Maybe you’ll pick this comment and I’ll be able to listen to “What this … ‘CD has’ … got”.
Thanks for reading! :)
-Monica

“What you got” was hands down MY SONG this summer. I heard some of his other new stuff on the rundown as well so I can say that i’ll definitely be getting this album.

wow. there is just so much to say about colby. he so inspirational. I love his story (his background and how he started out) and I one day hope to become successful in the music industry. At the age of 9 he wasn’t as successful as he thought he would be but that never stopped HIM. he kept following his dream and lokk where he is now. He is so talented in everything he does. his song what you got is amazing and unlike some artist all his songs are great. his cd will be worth every penny without a doubt. one of my favorite songs is wanna be loved though all songs are like my favorite. I can’t wait till aug 23 when he comes back to nyc and I might meet him. colby is just amazing and I truly do mean that. the one thing I wish is that I could get to know him as more than just a singer with an amazing story.

I really do hope I win this contest because it would be awsome to get his CD before itls in stores. but if I don’t win I will get over it and I guess I will just have to wait till the 16th of September like everyone else

with much love
one of his biggest fans

Wow, i am so impressed.. he seems to focused on making great music and pleasing the fans. He does not have the big head or chip like most artist and you can respect him for that. He is a winner with his infectous single Dont Turn Back, that is on repeat in my i-pod.

I love seeing an artist that has such a passion for what they do. Starting off at the age of 9 and still holding strong to that dream is really great. Coming from NY makes it even more of a success because there is so much talent there but he has managed to craft his skills and stand above the rest.

Being so young and full of drive is working for him as he connects R&B and POP, which is a hard thing to do today with the indistry so full of quick fly by night movements.i am most def. in his corner all the way.. His music has that feel good weekend, get to what you want type vibe and i am sold….

He has a bright persona, not to mention he is cute and keeps it real for the fans.

Loving all that you do COLBY O’DONIS .. keep it coming papi!
