WHAT IT IS: Donzell Taggart has a history pushing the envelope, from becoming the youngest pastor in his Arkansas church to creating videos that went viral on TikTok, launching his career. Not long after belting out songs in a Walmart in his hometown of Little Rock, Taggart embarked on a “Walmart Tour” across Arkansas, and despite getting booted out of many stores, he gained attention from the likes of Viola Davis and Papa Roach. With an arsenal of unreleased original music under his belt, the 22-year-old up-and-comer teased his single “Flames” on TikTok and generated 10m+ views ahead of release. Now, with the arrival of “Flames” and its follow-up “Dangerous,” Taggart is ready for the next chapter of his career.
