Biography
DJ Donna Summer is not Donna Summer, but an alias for Jason Forrest.
more info on his myspace.
Besides being a fan himself, there is no connection between Forrest and the pop music/disco artist, Donna Summer. In a 2003 interview with the CBC Radio program, Brave New Waves, he stated that by being a middle class white male using this name he was “subjecting people to a fake issue of diversity” and forcing them “to consider gender a little bit more.”
He created the record label Cock Rock Disco to release his own recordings. The label now carries a 20+ artists including Duran Duran Duran and Dev/Null. Forrest’s most recent recordings have come out on the Sonig record label.
Forrest is also the host of “Advanced D&D With Donna Summer” on independent free form radio station WFMU.
