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.

Shelana Azora and Richandell Turn Betrayal Into Power With Bold New Single “Can’t Trust”
What happens when trust is broken but you find yourself stronger on the other side? Shelana Azora and Richandell (pronunced Ree-SHEN-dul) explore that moment of clarity on their powerful new collaboration “Can’t Trust”, a soulful R&B and hip-hop fusion built on honesty, confidence, and moving forward.
Blending Shelana’s emotive vocals with Richandell’s smooth, rhythm-driven production, the track captures the shift from heartbreak to self-respect. It’s vulnerable without being defeated, turning disappointment into a reminder that knowing your worth can be the ultimate comeback.
Produced entirely by Richandell, “Can’t Trust” showcases his ability to create a space where emotion and groove exist side by side. Drawing from R&B, hip-hop, and global influences, the production gives Shelana room to deliver a performance that feels both intimate and fearless.
For Shelana, the track represents a new chapter built around confidence, boundaries, and embracing every part of her artistry. Moving between singing and rap, she brings the honesty and energy shaped by years performing in London’s vibrant music scene.
The collaboration began with instant creative chemistry during a studio session in Amsterdam, eventually leading the pair to record at the legendary Wisseloord Studios. What started as a spontaneous connection grew into a cross-border partnership built on shared vision and trust, even if the song itself is about losing it.
With “Can’t Trust”, Shelana Azora and Richandell prove that some of the hardest moments can create the strongest music. It’s a song about betrayal, but more importantly, it’s a song about reclaiming yourself.
