JeeWee (pr. “Yay-Way”) Donkers is a Dutch singer-songwriter, guitar player and founder/owner of Sugarbeat Music. Jazz cat by origin and a lover of stringed instruments from guitar via charango to dobro and lap steel, he acted as a side man and gun-for-hire for performing and recording artists like Karin Bloemen, Han Hazewindus, Hans Willers/Diftong, Jacques van de Wal and Marybeth d’Amico.

Ever since he started writing his own lyrical material, americana , blues and downright pop music have started to take over. A long time performer as the instrumental half of jazz/pop duo Twogetherness, JeeWee now also hits the Dutch and international stages as solo artist or front man of Live Poets Society.
In his remaining spare time he lends his guitar skills to orchestras and passers-by in the singer-songwriter world. Whatever times remains is spent on repair and setup of guitars and other stringed instruments.
