Over the weekend, I got a chance to sit down and talk Dondria aka Phatfffat, who was in town for an event at Eden’s Lounge.

The R&B singer-songwriter was discovered by Jermaine Dupree from YouTube. Dondria uploaded video of herself, daily, singing her rendition of chart-topping songs including “Love” by Musiq Soulchild, “Listen” by Beyonce, and “Are You That Somebody” by Aaliyah just to name a few. She received lots of feedback and a large following on the site.

On August 3, she plans to release her album Dondria vs. Phatfffat.

Check out my interview with Dondria here where she reveals her local crush, how Youtube changed her life, how she almost missed out on her oppurtunity to get signed by Jermaine Dupri, and much more.

Special Thank You out to Roshanda, Aliya (Bubblistic Mgmt, and Mindbolic), SoSo Def, Tippy Inc, and Robin Razzi!
