Raised in the small town of Washburn, Wisconsin. Began learning old-time banjo and quickly switched over to the bluegrass style after she heard the Minnesota based band Stoney Lonesome at a nearby music festival. At age 17, her passion for music led her to move south where she studied at Nashville's Belmont University. Throughout college Donica performed on banjo with the Belmont University Bluegrass ensemble as well as completing a BBA with a focus on the music business. Upon graduation in 2000, re-located to Franklin County, Virginia where she worked as head of publicity for Doable Shea Records. Performed as part of Jeanette Williams & Clearwater and David Via & Corn Tornado. Though Donica's main instrument has primarily been the banjo, she has been recently concentrating on fiddle, which she plays with the Daughters of Bluegrass.
