Discovery and early life
Dondria was discovered on YouTube by So So Def founder Jermaine Dupri.[1] She was born in Dover, OK, and raised in Texas. Dondria began singing at a young age in her church choir after her friend David Baker asked her to join with him. In 2006 she created a YouTube channel using the username "Phatfffat" to showcase her singing talent. With Youtube she built a sizable following online, and eventually she was contacted by Dupri via a Youtube Message. Although it took several messages before she responded, when she did she was flown to Atlanta to meet Dupri. Originally she was asked to record a song with R&B Group Jagged Edge, but eventually was offered a solo contract. [2]

Dondria released a mixtape for fans, titled "Dondria Duets" on November 6, 2009. The Mixtape was available for download on Global14.com, for free. She recorded popular male R&B songs that included verses by herself, turning them into duets.[5] The Mixtape was released in order to promote, Dondria's single You're The One which dropped a few weeks later.
Her full-length debut album, titled Dondria Vs. Phatfffat, was released on August 17, 2010. It debuted at #43, with first week sales of 9,422, which is notable since she was discovered off Youtube.[6] The official debut single for her album "You're The One" was released on November 23, 2009.
