Donovan Whycliffe Bromwell,[1] known mononymously as Whycliffe, is an English R&B singer from Nottingham.[2]

Whycliffe was born into a Pentecostal family and sang in the choir as a child.[3] After sending a demo tape to local label Submission Records,[2] he attracted label attention, eventually signing with MCA Records.[3] He released two albums for MCA and had three singles in the UK Singles Chart - "Lovespeakup" (1990) at No. 97, "Heaven" (1993) at No. 56, and "One More Time" (1994) at No. 72.[4] He worked with the producers Tim Simenon, CJ Mackintosh, and Chris Porter.[3] He dated Dannii Minogue in 1994.[1] After being dropped from MCA, Whycliffe left the public eye, and in 2005, a Nottingham publication reported that he "sings for a quid in the city centre and lives in a sheltered housing complex."[1]
