Donnie Wahlberg The Sixth Sense wouldn't come until he was well into his career. Born August 17, 1969, Donnie is the eighth of nine children! His older brother Paul and younger brother Mark have also made it big in the entertainment industry, proving that talent must run in the family or the water they were drinking!
Growing up with an interest in music, Donnie would become the first member of hit American boy band New Kids on the Block in the 1980s. Just 15 years old when he was discovered, Donnie immediately blew away record producers Maurice Starr and Mary Alford with his rap and dance skills!
Donnie would then help to recruit the other members of the group, his younger brother Mark, Danny Wood, and Jamie Kelly. While the bands members would change over the year as the group rose to fame, including the departure of Mark and Jamie, Donnie would continue to lead the group through the years, writing a number of raps and songs including the bands seven studio albums!
