Donell Jones (born May 22, 1973) is an American R&B singer, songwriter and producer, most notable for the hits “PlayU Know What’s Up”, “PlayWhere I Wanna Be” and his cover of Stevie Wonder’s “PlayKnocks Me Off My Feet”.

Born in Chicago, Illinois, Jones’ upbringing was rough. He struggled between wanting to be a musician and to be a member of a street gang. After a brush with death, Jones left the gang and focused on a music career forming the group Porscha. However, Jones was gaining notice as a writer penning songs for established R&B acts such as Usher, producing the singer’s 1995 hit, “PlayThink Of You”, 702’s “PlayGet It Together” and also wrote for groups such as Brownstone and Silk.

In 1996, he signed with LaFace Records and released his debut album, My Heart, which included his hit cover of Stevie Wonder’s 1976 ballad “PlayKnocks Me Off My Feet”.

The album yielded the number-one hits such as “PlayU Know What’s Up”, which featured TLC member Lisa “Left-Eye” Lopes and the title track. Other hits included “PlayShorty (Got Her Eyes On Me)” and “PlayThis Luv”.

In 2002, Jones released the gold-selling Life Goes On album, which featured the hits, “PlayYou Know That I Love You” and “PlayPut Me Down” featuring Styles P..
