Chitra Dassapa: Dua Lipa's Past Manager Discovered Me on TikTok. But My Parents Don't Know I Sing.

My first hAAPI hour after a two year hiatus. If you haven’t heard of Chitra Dassapa, this won’t be the last time you’ll hear her name (and her alluring alto voice). The 23-year-old pop and R&B artist is on the rise—from recording songs in her small apartment studio to a whirlwind week of getting dm’ed by a kinda big deal manager after posting a teaser of her upcoming song ‘Aftertaste” on TikTok, Chitra’s era is slowly but surely manifesting. Join Chitra and me in navigating topics such as growing up with immigrant parents in the States, stepping away from religion, pursuing a music career as an Indian-American, and stupid toxic boys in this newest episode of hAAPI hour.
