Tomas Doncker biography Producer, Singer, Songwriter & Guitarist Tomas Doncker has been a
mainstay on the New York music scene for over twenty years. He cut his teeth hanging out downtown in the fertile punk-funk explosion of the

groundbreaking musical elite and in such groups as: James Chance & The
Contortions, James White & The Blacks, Defunkt, Latin-groove-meisters
