About Dondria

Dondria’s career started in 2007. With a $15 webcam, a voice touched by God. A candid rendition of Ciara’s “Promise,” Dondria, aka Lil Phatfffat (her name on YouTube), captured the audience of millions, including the ear of super producer Jermaine Dupri. His DM changed the young Dallas native’s life forever! At just 20 years old, Dondria signed a one-of-a-kind deal with So So Def Records and, under Dupri’s mentorship and management, released her debut album, Dondria vs. Phatfffat, in August 2010. The album contained 11 timeless tracks, with songs written and produced by Dupri and veteran songwriter/producer Bryan Michael Cox including her first Billboard charting single, “You’re The One.” Dondria was the opening act on the “Passion, Pain, and Pleasure Tour” headlined by Trey Songz and Monica.

She appeared and performed in several productions, including National Geographic’s GENIUS: Aretha Franklin biopic (2021), BET +’s “First Wives Club” (season 3), headlined the 2021 Taste Of Soul Festival, and toured with her friend, Jade Novah, on her “Moon In Pisces Tour.” In 2022, she also performed in a tribute to Keri Hilson for Black Music Honors and received the Boss Babe’s Trailblazer Award.

Step into the melancholic embrace of autumn mornings and solitary strolls through deserted parks with FRAGADA’s latest release, “Désolé”. This isn’t just a song; it’s a profound journey through the labyrinth of human consciousness and heart, a poignant reflection on life’s choices and regrets.

As the music infuses bluesy tones and gray hues, it paints a vivid picture of fleeting opportunities and the weight of unspoken words. “Désolé” etches its title subtly on a park bench where two lonely souls converge and diverge, symbolizing the burden of unsaid words and undone deeds. Against the backdrop of the solitary Temple of the Sibylle, towering atop its rocky perch, the scene unfolds—a poignant reminder that even in despair, there is beauty and the promise of renewal.

Through “Désolé”, FRAGADA beckons us to embrace our vulnerabilities and find strength in our regrets. It’s a reminder that our deepest humanity often lies in acknowledging our failures.

Born Mapli Guy Gbizie in Ivory Coast and later finding his musical home in Paris, FRAGADA—also known as Mapli and Dixx—has carved a niche in the city’s vibrant music scene. From impromptu jam sessions to prestigious venues like Le Trois Maillet, his journey from 2009 to 2024 reflects a dynamic identity and artistic evolution, weaving a rich tapestry of musical styles and projects that resonate with audiences far and wide.

So, let “Désolé” be your soundtrack as you navigate the complexities of life and love, finding solace in the music’s tender embrace and the universal truths it unveils.
