 Hey, what's up everybody? I am Dandrea. Welcome to 80 Vibe, and this is Take You There. Trust these black girls. Perception is deception. They're missing your directions, misdirection. I'm trying to give you love. I'm trying to give you feeling. I know you missed that feeling. I can hear your body calling out for my special full full life. It's your favorite star tender, Ty Nicole, and you're watching Dandrea on 80 Vibe. So that we're going to be crafting up today is going to be the Little Miss Fat Fat. So first, we're going to grab our mixing tins, and we're going to muddle some fresh lemons and oranges. So go ahead, grab your oranges, grab your lemons, add them into your mixing tin, and then we're going to grab some of that ginger mint syrup and some of our fresh lemon juice. Now Miss Dandrea is drinking a mocktail today, so we're not adding any alcohol. Once you have those ingredients in your mixing tin, grab your muddler, and we're going to muddle together all of those ingredients. Now we're going to add some simple syrup to our mixing tins and a little bit more lemon juice. Now go ahead and add some ice into your mixing tin. Now this cocktail will be served up, so we will be using our martini glass. Once you have your ice in your mixing tin, go ahead and give it a great shake. Grab your martini glass, place it in front of you. You're going to grab your strainer, and this time we will be doing a double strain, so we're going to grab a mesh strainer as well. We're going to strain our mixture right into our martini glass, and then we're going to add a little bit of hibiscus syrup to the bottom for a beautiful float. To do that, grab your bar spoon, turn it upside down, and we're going to pour our syrup up against the back of that spoon, and look at that beautiful float. Once you have floated your hibiscus syrup, go ahead and let's grab our lemon to garnish. And that is a little Miss Fat Fat. Cheers!

You know, tell the people your story That thing Okay, condensed version So, 2006, somebody told me to go look at a fight on YouTube Now at this time, YouTube is not what YouTube is right now Facts, it was very new, very fresh Not a lot of people was really on it I went on there to look at a fight And I saw some people on the side Looking like they were singing So I clicked it And I was like, how do people sing on here? Like, let me find out So I just got a little $15 webcam from Walmart Set it up And I started singing And my whole premise was not to get discovered I wasn't even thinking about any type of professional career I think at that time A lot of people wasn't really doing singing on YouTube For real Or getting discovered on YouTube like they are now So okay, I feel that I just wanted to... So y'all know on American Idol When the people were going there They were like, my mom said I could sing Or my granny, I sing to her all the time And then they get on stage And they sound a hot ass mess So I wanted to go on the internet And see what strangers would say Because my parents and family They were very supportive But I really wanted to know the real truth And it happened to be a positive one A positive one, that's beautiful now You haven't had a beautiful voice Thank you All the way Now, like I said, I've been a fan since you came out That song, you know, you're the one for me I remember when I first heard the song I was living in North Carolina Which I still live in North Carolina But I was living in North Carolina It's a radio station called 102 Jams And they would play that hot new song And you have to pick between three songs And one of your songs was one of them And I heard it And it's just like They don't make music like that anymore Meaning when a woman makes a mistake You think that there's no more accountability music For the ladies And when I heard that song Even back then it was something fresh and new So what did the idea for You're the one for me come from? So I can't really take any of the writing credit On that song JD, Jermaine Dupri, Brian Michael Cox They teamed up and created that masterpiece And I think that, you know From what they gathered on YouTube They wanted to create a timeless song A classic song that would allow me to show my vocal And, you know, be the young pretty girl that like Oh, no, but we sing We're not doing the ABC one, two, three thing Right How was that moment when you got discovered on YouTube Like, where were you? What were you doing? And how did you feel? So it happened so fast And I'd say all the time like now I journal a lot because I just There's not a lot that I remember Because it was just happening so fast So all of this happened in a year Of me being on YouTube I think it got really real when JD hit me on MySpace, I think it was And we exchanged numbers He called me And I didn't answer it Because I didn't know the number But then he left a message And I'm like, hold on Okay, this sound like him I called everybody in my phone Does this sound like Jermaine DePri? We had a whole conference call Listening to my voicemail And so I think at that moment I knew it was real And I just couldn't believe Like, I'm from the suburbs I'm from like a small town, you know In Texas So I just That wasn't even anything that I could ever imagine Imagine what had happened And now your first album Dondria vs. Fat Fat Now, Fat Fat is my daughter's nickname too Yeah, that's my baby's nickname So where did that come from? Because I know that having The different personalities is something That people do now But back then it wasn't really Especially for a female artist It wasn't looked at as prevalent As it is now So what made you go with that As your first album title? So actually my college roommate Gave me that nickname We met at Orientation We went to C.C.'s Pizza And I was tearing the pizza up I think I had a whole like Pizza to myself And she was just like Oh no, your name We calling you Fat Fat And from 19 All the way up to now I've been Fat Fat All the way off of C.C.'s Pizza Y'all need to go ahead And get that sponsorship going Dondria for C.C.'s Pizza Now, you know That was in 2010 And of course a lot of time Has passed since then So how did you keep yourself Motivated in the music industry Because when you get that level Of success so quickly It can kind of jade you If you don't continue to see That level of success throughout The time that you are in the industry And you see a lot of people Come and go So what has kept you active And motivated since 2010 till now? Shoot, I don't even know I mean there was definitely A space in there where I was Not motivated I have this song called Let It Be Which is like a love song To music for me And it just kind of talks about Like the What I had to go through Like I know that I made some mistakes I think a lot of it was from me Just not knowing And being so young And not having Like JD and B. Cox and them They were there But I didn't have like a woman You know to Just pour it into me And like teach me the game Let me know what's up And so it was very hard Kind of transitioning from The height of You're the one in my first album To really not Even knowing what was next So I don't know I mean I prayed I ended up going to therapy Because I had a lot of anxiety And I was suffering from depression I just, I don't know I had to grow up in that space I had to just point Back inward So with everything that you say You know you went through some things Is that what made you want to get into Helping other people with their Like mental health And things like that Because I know that you're doing that as well Yeah, you know Being a black woman And just Being able to understand What black people go through The trauma that we experience Especially when we're younger You know those things Develop us They mold us into the adults That we are And I just know how much Being open And it was hard, you know Growth and healing is not easy But just looking back At everything that I've gone through And being on the other side And just feeling free And really for the first time Feeling like myself Like who I was meant to be Everybody should feel like this To help, you know Inspire, motivate Like we all should be out here shining And sometimes we just got to go back in And like fix that stuff But that's good though That you're doing that for other people Because like you said earlier That like you didn't have that woman That can pour into you And I felt, I've been in a place In my life where I felt the same way Like as a woman I felt like we should always be Trying to help each other And pour into each other So I appreciate that for you Because a lot of us need to do that For women, for women Black women, we need to do that For each other And I do want to shout out Brad Because she has been like such A great big sister Unfortunately when I was coming up She went away so she wasn't there Physically to, you know Be what she is for me now But she's been amazing She's been like the best big sister Salute to the Brad now Knowing what you know now Being as though you went through The transition that you went through And the growth that you went through Like what steps do you take now That you didn't when you first started That help you stay in a position Where you're mentally stable And able to handle all the things That comes with the music industry And the stress and strain that until Yeah, so first, just like My quiet time is very important to me Every morning I get up I got that journal out I got me a little incense burning You know, I'm praying I'm meditating I'm planning out my day That's very, very helpful And then externally I have Walked away from so many friendships And God has allowed some people To walk away from me The ones that I couldn't say goodbye To myself He will do that He will do that For sure Yeah, so I'm around people That want the best for me That ride for me That support me I'm starting to create These relationships And these sisterhoods Within the music industry Which, you know Like coming up The women that I looked up to A lot of them was not checking For your girl, you know They was looking at me Like I was gonna take their spot I think, and they just They weren't welcoming And they, yeah It was just hard I just felt alone in that space So switching up my circle Making sure that I'm having That time to myself And with God And just being intentional every day And understanding I had to like reprogram my mind That like I am actually like My own boss And I do control my own life So whenever I feel Cause I've gone through like Control issues too Whenever I feel like I don't know what's going on I just remind myself Like you make your own decisions You can do what you want to do You choose this Yeah And it works That's what's up now As far as content You know the actual content That you sing about And the things that you Put out Like do you have More of a say now Cause you heard you say That Brian Michael Coxson and JD Kind of had their hands In your first album But now that you went through The transition that you went through Do you feel more inclined to Produce your own sound And your own messaging And your music Is that more important For you now Know what you know Yes, yes Very important You know I'm thankful That the situation with them Was so so deaf Even though I didn't really Know what I wanted Therefore I didn't speak up much I just kind of went with the flow Thankfully it was in alignment With who I am And who I'm becoming But now, oh yes I'm in the studio I don't know how to press the buttons But I know sounds You know so I might be like Can you do that You know like I'm very very hands on I want to break down here Okay here like with lyrics Writing very very hands on That's very important to me All the way, now is there a song That you would say describes Where you are now If you can you know For those of that might not know Who Dandre is And you don't necessarily want To send them all the way back to 2010 Where would you direct people to go To getting contact with who you are And what you want them to know About you What song would you direct them to Hmm, I would do a mash up Right So the first song would be Good Company It's a fun record And for those that do know Dandrea I haven't really ever done like Fun like up tempo Like I never really was in that lane But then I was like talking to My co-writer and he was like You twerk every time the beat Drop like why don't you have Music that reflects that And I was like you right Like but I just thought that I could only sing the ballads Or about love because that's That's how it was introduced to the world Not really taken into consideration Like no you can do whatever you want to do So Good Company It's fun and it just talks about Like who I want around me I want good vibes I want people that arrive for me That want the best for me You gotta dance You gotta look You gotta have a problem Yeah Like getting down Like we not in the VIP lounge Sipping on drinks on the couch Like we turn it up C.C.'s pizza shake in our heads That's what we do Yes And we're gonna mash that into Let it be because it's just It's like my redeclaration You know like I've been through a lot And it almost took me out But I ain't go all the way out And now I'm back with a new perspective Which is the name of my EP And here to stay Yeah and I got something to say All the way I love it I love it Now I've been listening to you for a long time And I know that it's difficult To kind of hone your sound You know what I mean And I know that motivation comes from everywhere So who are some of the people That have influenced you And still continue to influence you in music My number one influence is Whitney Houston She's been that for me from day one And I think what I love most about her I mean we all love her voice I love her spirit And I also love that she Defined the type of music that she made It's just like music It's not white music It's not black music It's just good music And that's the space that I'm in So Whitney The original Destiny's Child Boy, when I was in middle school No, no, no, no And they say yes, yes, yes, yes All right now And they say no, no, no, no, no That's that hit right there, boy Boy, that album right there That was a good one Yeah, it was a classic It was That opened my mind to all types of possibilities Just seeing those four girls Four black girls Killing it, that was it for me And they're Texas girls too And they're from Texas Gospel music is I grew up singing in church So that is a lot of my sound as well I love me some tank He was a major influence I remember listening to all his runs And running them back And singing them until I got them down Like he was a major influence Those are like the top Yeah, those are the top ones That's dope, tank is unique Because I'm a huge tank fan too A tank used to sing background for genuine And background for Dave Hollister And if you listen to a lot of the old music Like Dave Hollister Girl, I gotta go I can't stay, that's tank on the back there Just doing all of them runs And like You know, being a black woman in the industry You know, it's so much You know, you guys just have to go through With black women in general So if you were giving advice To any of the young black women And aspiring Or just getting into the music industry What would you say Is some of the most important characteristics For them to have coming in To give that game That you necessarily didn't get So what would be some of the things That you would tell a young artist A young black woman that's talented In trying to get into this industry I think the one thing And it might even be the only thing Is to just trust yourself Like Everybody's gonna try to tell you How they think it should go What you should wear How you should have your hair How you should sing about But you know, like inside And this is just really for anybody You know what's inside Like what you really, really feel You know, in yoga When some don't feel right You know, but you go against it Maybe you're scared Or maybe somebody's persuaded you to But you know And as women It's even more important Because it's easy to like Be in a situation You know, that could be dangerous You know, or like Just detrimental to you Or your life You know what I mean So like just trust yourself Trust your gut And continue to become Like the best version of yourself The more you improve Like The possibilities are endless Like We are truly like Magical people So trust yourself Like you know, you know You definitely know You gotta be like Yeah Don't go in there Do not go in there Okay So what is What is one of the Biggest obstacles That you've had to overcome Being In this industry Speaking up Speaking up for myself Do you think that was just because Is it just because you just were a little Scared to Was it because you were a female in the industry Or you didn't want to feel like You were stepping on anybody's shoes I guess I was timid I was very timid I hadn't yet found my voice And then too I think I've had to relearn This lesson so many times I think I finally got it But when I allow people to Come into my life To help I would always feel like Some sort of Debt to them And so when it's time To say no Or speak up And go against What they thought Or said I would just feel uncomfortable I mean, feeling that Yeah So how did you Overcome that feeling Of always feeling like that Yeah Honestly, you know It's like you can only take so much To be real I just got to a point Where I was like How did I get here Like I'm a grown ass woman And I'm listening And doing what somebody else Tells me to do All the way down to them Controlling my money Like just I had no control over my life None Like I was living with them I didn't have no car Like I was dependent on this person To get me through life And get me through my career And just one day I was just like This is not how it's supposed to be Like I said earlier Like I'm in control This person cannot be I mean, okay This person cannot be successful Without me That part I can get myself in rooms Like this person has to say my name To get into the room They have to say that they're with me Like he doesn't have As much control as he thinks he does So I just have to Get a little reality check with that It sounds like you grew To trust yourself more Yeah And that's very difficult to do For anybody You know, male or female But what do you think is the biggest You know, contribution to you Being able to trust yourself more Is it the fact that you went through All of those things and learned Or is it just something within yourself That made you realize like Hey, fuck these people Right I'm straight Yeah A combination of everything And then I feel like A lot of the situations that would come Where I had to just figure it out myself And it worked And it added to my confidence Like okay, I do know what I'm doing You know, or like I remember on my first album JD gave me a track All these tracks and songs They done wrote and produced for me And I just came into the studio And sang them But this one particular track He just gave me the track And said write something to it And I was like Okay, hold on Like y'all got Grammys And all other kinds of awards Y'all done broke records And you want me to write on your track But I went in that room And I wrote that song And it is consistently From 2010 to 2023 My top three song that people stream And listen to this day Which one is that? Where do we go wrong? Is it something I said Or is it something I did Okay Is it something I told you I'm a fan Yeah I'm a fan I was around You don't know how many times I got caught at the light Like nigga, who then broke your heart And then whoever wrote this song That's who But that's one of my favorite songs Of the album too So you wrote that yourself Yep All the way Now, being as though You have that skill set That writers, you know That pen Who are some of your favorite pens? That's a great question I gotta go back to Tank And I'm gonna shout out My girl, Money Long I love Money Long That's my homie Money Long is so talented Man, I discovered her See, that's what I feel like I'm like an A and R That don't get the credit Because I'd be discovering people Before they come out But Money Long got a song Called Bodies That I heard And she's talking about a dude Asking about how many bodies she has And it's still the way That the song is written It's so amazing Like, so just You know, she alluded Money Long, man We gotta get you in here too You know what I mean But so you say Tank, Money Money I'm gonna go left field With it And I'm gonna say Kirk Franklin That pen is amazing Yeah That's like how Chris Brown, amazing writer And then I had one more person That was just on the tip of my tongue Jasmine, Jasmine Sullivan Okay But that's who I was gonna say Is it a female? I don't know That's a couple That's a few And we have a mom and a dad Yeah, that was a couple though And some of mine is babyface of course Oh, yes Smokey Robinson Yes As cliche as this is going to sound R. Kelly Hey I mean, it is what it is You know what I mean It's on the right tip tank Of course I love what Money is doing now With the pen It's a young lady that Diddy just sign What is her name? Josie Josie Josie She's an amazing writer too Do you think that that's something That needs to be stressed more Especially amongst females To be able to pen their own music To not be dependent upon A man to come in And give you your perspective Yeah Yeah Now I'm a collaborator I do believe that we are here To collaborate with people To fellowship and create with one another But I do think that that should be A prerequisite Like you should know What you want to talk about And you should at least Well, you should be able to articulate it You know Yes, absolutely If you were in a room By yourself and you had no other option You should be able to come out with a song Now Song structure You know, that's something that I don't think a lot of people Because you know, you can Write something But being able to structure a song Like who do you think Gave you personally the best You know, knowledge In how to actually Not just structure it But make a hit record Like what did you get You think you got those chops From the most in your journey Through the industry I mean, I think I would have to give JD and B. Cox And John T. Austin John T. JD, B. Cox, John T. Austin And Kristal And Emanuel Those four or five people I mean, they really They molded me, you know They helped to I think I was in the last Class of artist development You know, so like They really helped me to Like hone in on Just how to do that They got all the hits You know, so it was Yeah, I think that's where It got That's where songwriting was I was empowered to songwriting And then also like inspired To try things too A lot of times JD would bring me in the studio Still does I have some vocals on Division's new album You know, he would Trust me to come in And do a vocal arrangement Or to do harmonies That's one of the things that He loved about me It's my harmonies You know, my backgrounds But yeah, just Being in the room And them allowing me the Space to do that And just try shit Like trust myself too Yeah All the way How long does it typically make Like, so say you go You write these lyrics You go to the studio And you make a hit track How long does that take For you to make? I think that Every day is different You know, it might be a I've gone into the studio And wrote a whole EP in a week And then this last EP It took two years, you know So like I It depends on the vibe It depends on the flow I tried, I don't know I don't have a Do you ever put a time Limit on when you're Creating music Or do you just go With the flow of things I think I just go with the flow With the flow We talked a little bit About this outside I don't think that you should put My personal opinion I don't think that you should Put pressures on yourself I think that that is unhealthy I think that you should Always be intentional And set realistic goals You know, for yourself Timely goals But I don't think that you Should be like I have to do this Or you know Because what happens If something happens And you don't do that Now you're beating yourself up For no reason Yeah And maybe now you don't believe In yourself as much Or you know Like I don't Yeah I think you should go With the flow I be in the crowd sometimes But I do believe that you should Flow intentionally Yeah I don't do that Another thing that I love about you You got singers Then you got people that can sing You can sing For sure I mean for real Can blow So you know Just somebody That's a performer You know I know how important it is To just vocal maintenance To make sure that your voice is right Like what's a tip that you would give A young singer that might not have The understanding of what it takes To maintain a strong voice First of all Water Drink your water Okay You should be drinking However much you weigh You should be drinking Half of that In ounces of water Every day Okay Just drink your water Put the mountain dudes down Put the mountain dudes down You know I'm a tea drinker I may drink a coffee Every now and then But it ain't the best for you Because it's dehydrating Okay Hydrate yourself And you know I have had so many conversations With my fellow singers And these niggas Are not warming up They're not practicing They're trusting that their gift Is going to show up for them Like it always does And it is right now But you're not going to be able To maintain that And be a household name And still be singing At 50 and 60 years old If you want to If you're not taking care of your voice Like honoring the gift That God has given you How do you warm up? Well I mean there's different exercises I Give me one Give me one of the exercises Okay I'm so like Let's see Okay So one Okay Lip trills So Lip trills Okay So there's something called semi Sound like something That plays for the strip club Vocal training Okay, semi-accluded vocal training And basically what that is Is you're singing Like without your mouth Being all the way open So you may do something Like what we're about to do A lip trill Or you may sing through a straw And what it does Is it allows you to vocalize But you don't have to work as hard Because you're singing through a A smaller hole A smaller Yeah, space So a lip trill Is like Brrr So we're going to do This is still fun Oh, I can't I can't Yeah So we're just going to do a simple My lips ain't that big, is they?
