Donald Fagan - Lead Vocals
Don is the lead vocalist for Feels Like the First Time (One of America's Top Foreigner Tribute Bands) and Founder/Owner of National Premier Talent LLC.
​
There are many vocalists/artists who struggle to establish their musical identity. There are also others that emerge fully formed, in full command of their craft. Donald Fagan fits firmly in the latter category. A Wisconsin native, Donald played trumpet and guitar. He also sang in choirs in High School and church. He began to take formal vocal lessons in his early 20’s, which he did for several years. He’s has performed in several bands throughout the 80’s and 90’s. Today, as the front man for "Feels Like the First Time," (Foreigner Tribute Band), he’s taken his vocal talent and his ability to engage with the audience to a whole new level.
