On Sunday 26 th December 2004, we as a nation witnessed the Tsunami Disaster, the tragedy experienced by hundreds and thousands of people, the loss of loved ones young and old, and, the horrifying news reports about whole generations being wiped out. The images were heart wrenching and overwhelming and full of despair as families searched for their loved ones. To date it has been confirmed that approximately 300,000 people are feared dead or missing.

After watching the news on Boxing Day 2004 of the Asia Tsunami Disaster, Internalmusic, Realtone Records, and, Streetlife Productions have united together in the form of 'Donasian'.

Bal of Realtone Records called Mukhtar Sahota and Saj (Internalmusic), and Bindi Sandhu and Baljit Deo (Streetlife Productions), and suggested that something needs to be done for the survivors. Mukhtar decided to produce a track featuring a number of artists to raise money for the victims of this horrific disaster, like that of a similar approach as the 'Band Aid' single but, with an 'Asian' flavour. Saj of Internalmusic had the role of managing the project and made contact with singers, writers, and engineers, from all over the world and co-ordinated them together for the making of this single. Bindi and Baljit of Streetlife Productions have been actively involved in this project, the making of the documentary, and the music video to accompany the single. The documentary started in January 2005 and has been documenting all the moves through this project, from interviews with the artists, recording sessions and behind the scenes for the video. The documentary will be aired on a mainstream TV channel in the very near future.

On Saturday 8 th October 2005, we were again faced with another natural disaster, the South Asian Earthquake in Pakistan and its neighbouring countries. Again thousands of lives were lost and millions were made homeless. Donasian then decided that we would contribute 50% of the monies raised from the record sales to the survivors, as we were preparing a release date for the single whilst the disaster struck.

At the time of both disasters people from different countries, cultures and backgrounds around the world stood united and felt the loss and tragedy of the surviving victims. It is suggested that it will take approximately 10 years to rebuild a number of South Asia and Southeast Asian countries affected by both the Tsunami and the Earthquake.
