Following on from his most recent release ‘dreemr.’ donny. – has just unveiled his latest single ‘claim the kill!’

Hailing from Hungary and currently residing in Galway, donny. has reached extraordinary heights in his musical journey. His mesmerising tracks have graced prominent Spotify Editorial playlists, including the highly coveted New Music Friday UK, New Music Friday Sri Lanka, and New Music Friday Bangladesh. With a unique sound that pushes creative boundaries, his artistry is making waves in the industry and enchanting listeners across the globe. Today, donny. has just released his latest single, ‘claim the kill!’ produced by Tristus Boyd.

Speaking about the track, donny. states, “I initially just made the instrumental bits, not knowing what it’s going to be about. After receiving the guitar parts at the start of the song, everything began to fall into place with the lyrics and vocals. I wrote it just for fun, but it became something bigger.”

This song was mixed and mastered by long-time collaborator Tristus Boyd. donny. says on working with Tristus, “Most of this song was produced by me except the guitar parts at the start. Tristus Boyd came through as usual. And he also mixed and mastered it, so he put in a great deal of work on this, too!”

donny. believes the song can be interpreted in various ways, saying, “With this one, I want to keep it as vague as possible to let the listener have their conclusion. It’s about all of us, and it vaguely talks about something that hits close to home for me. I’d say the song will decide for you. I wouldn’t say I want anyone to think of something certain. Just listen and draw your conclusion. Or don’t think about it and enjoy the song.”

Since the release of his debut album, *i bleached my voice in psychedelics*, in June 2022, donny. has become one of the most sought-after names in the Galway music scene, both for his recorded work and live performances. Drawing inspiration from a wide range of genres, including indie rock, post-punk, and hip-hop, donny. combines these elements with his exceptionally powerful vocals to create a unique sound that has garnered significant attention. His songs are characterized by powerful dynamics and catchy hooks.

Alongside his releases, he also formed a live band called monotypes., which features a mix of donny.’s solo music and original compositions created by the band. This new formation has elevated donny.’s popularity in the local Galway scene, resulting in many sold-out shows at venues such as Áras na Gael, Roisin Dubh, and The Loft.

In 2025, donny. released his single “hot head.” and a collaborative EP titled *what comes after saturday.* with Niall Tarmey. The EP includes tracks such as “gasoline.wav.” “madelyn.wav.” “nevada.wav.” and “comatose.wav.” It has received significant support from both fans and the press, accumulating 20,000 streams so far. Currently, donny. is working on exciting collaborations and upcoming releases, with his debut UK dates in the pipeline. He says, “I’ve got a lot more music to come and visuals to match it. So stay tuned because I have a lot more to show you.
