Bad Boy Artist and MTV’s Making the Band 4 Star, Donnie Klang, Names The Buzz International Group as Public Relations Agency of Record

 

May 12, 2009, New York, NY--  The Buzz International Group, one New York’s top full-service lifestyle & entertainment public relations agencies, announced today the addition of Bad Boy recording artist Donnie Klang to its roster of clients.  Serving as the agency of record, Buzz looks forward to taking Donnie’s rapidly developing career in the entertainment industry to the next level, implementing new public relations and publicity strategies. 

 

On signing Donnie Klang, President and CEO of The Buzz International Group, Marisa King-Redwood says “Donnie is an extremely talented young man.  I was impressed with him from the very start of the show and when Diddy  announced the final guys in the band, I was in complete shock Donnie’s name wasn’t called.  Then when Diddy made his next announcement stating that Donnie would receive a solo deal, it all made sense.  Donnie is a pop star on his way to the top and I am so glad that Buzz will be along for the ride.”     

 

Only two years ago, Donnie Klang was an aspiring entertainer, out of work and dropping out of college, he was on a mission to fill his life-long passion to sing.  Giving it one more shot, Donnie made it on to the music/lifestyle mogul, Sean “P. Diddy” Comb’s, MTV music competition reality show, Making the Band 4.  With his talent, determination to win and an undeniably gravitating personality, Diddy awarded him with a solo record deal with Bad Boy Records on the show’s live finale.  Since his signing, Donnie Klang released his debut album “Just a Rolling Stone” in 2008 with great anticipation from his Making the Band fans and toured extensively to much acclaim for his stage presence and his gift of singing.  Now in the process of recording his sophomore album, continuing to perform across the country, and with the third season of Making the Band 4 completed, Donnie is keeping busy and Buzz is keeping him in the public eye.
