Donna Leake has been DJing globally and hosting a monthly radio show on NTS for almost 7 years. It all started with a love for music, dance and a hunger to discover new sounds within an ever developing taste.

One of London’s most beloved selectors, her extensive record collection and deep-digging spirit has made her a regular on many of the biggest and best stages around the world – with 2023 alone taking in everywhere from London venues like Printworks & KOKO, to some of the most well respected festivals on the circuit – from Portugal’s Waking Life & Bulgarian paradise Meadows in the Mountains, to Houghton, Lost Village, and Giles Peterson’s Worldwide Festival.

Donna is a master of weaving a narrative through music – she loves to dance, but more than anything, she sees music as a teacher. Over time, the journey of sharing her record collection with people has become just as much a teacher, a joy and a blessing for Donna, as the musicians themselves and the music they’ve created.
