Ian Stuart Donaldson, a British musician and neo-Nazi activist, was born in the United Kingdom and spent his formative years in the seaside town of Blackpool. During the 1970s, he founded a rock band called Tumbling Dice, which primarily performed covers of popular songs by bands like the Rolling Stones.
However, in 1977, Donaldson shifted his musical focus to form Skrewdriver, a street punk band that gained notoriety for its racist leanings. The band initially disbanded in 1979, but was later reformed in 1982, during which time its political ideology began to take center stage.
In addition to his musical endeavors, Donaldson co-founded the militant neo-Nazi organization Blood and Honour, which aimed to promote and spread white supremacist ideologies.
