About Artist
Every female rapper likes to consider herself different from the rest and Bella Donna is no exception. However, Bella Donna’s hypnotic delivery, raspy voice, innovative and original lyricism, and eccentric style easily set her apart from other female artists and make her the exception. The name Bella Donna literally means “beautiful woman” in Italian and in English is the shortened name for “atropa belladonna”, a plant that contains hallucinogenic properties that when ingested creates vivid delusions that can be fatal, thus reflecting her dual sided nature (A Beauty and a Poison). Bella isn’t scared to be the passionate, eclectic, mysterious, real, and feminine young woman that makes her unique. She aspires to show all aspects of womanhood through her music, and not just cater to the “hood” crowd, or the “conscious” or “prissy” crowds by showing that the same woman can be insanely swagged out one day, sensuous and sexy the next, independent and responsible the day after that, or all at the same time.
The California born MC began her foray into the artistic realm early in life by writing poems and short stories that she would later recite to her close family and friends. Spurred on by their encouragement, she entered a national poetry competition in the 8th grade, which resulted in two of her poems being published in a national poetry anthology. Bella continued to write poetry until the ninth grade when she fell in love with Rap and realized that she could combine her great love of words and music to create something very pure and original. While pursuing her burgeoning rap career, Bella Donna simultaneously also pursued modeling and fashion design, other early loves. She takes inspiration in her real life experiences, experiences of those close to her, day to day life, daydreams, and from influential artists from all facets of the entertainment world such as Bette Davis (actress), Michael Jackson, Clara Bow (actress), The Delfonics, Alanis Morissette, Josephine Wall (painter), Kelis, and countless ‘80s bands. Bella is everything you never expected of a female rapper and upon first glance is often judged by her appearance, which motivated her to write her song “Chick like Me”. The lyrics, “They ain’t never seen a young chick like me, I’m bad on the mic but I look like I sing”, totally capture Bella’s personality and essence. Bella is definitely not one to be slept on and world domination is nothing short of attainable for this talented artist.
