Calvin “DJ Infamous” Donald was born in Lansing, Michigan, where he began honing his skills as a DJ as an 11 year old adolescent. A few years later, at 15, DJ Infamous was offered a gig djing live on 88.9 FM, a college radio station at Michigan State University. His position as a DJ, younger than any student attending the University, helped DJ Infamous gain unforeseen notoriety in the city.
