ImDontai
Artist
Dontai Ethridge (born September 2, 1992), better known by the stage name ImDontai, is a YouTube entertainer, comedian, and rapper. He started his YouTube channel in May 2015 and quickly found success, garnering over 2 million subscribers as of 2020. He always aspired to be a comedian or rapper but his mom didn’t see those as realistic occupations, so he considered becoming a police officer instead. He eventually stopped pursuing that career path and worked several minimum wage jobs while making YouTube videos every day. Once he earned enough money, he moved into his own apartment and started producing content full-time.
ImDontai released his debut EP, Early Stages, on September 1, 2016—followed by two concept EPs in 2017: Land of Development and Dumb It Down.
In 2018, he released the mixtape Diss Respect. Later that year, he released an EP titled Bottled Emotions. It surprised many because of it’s serious subject matter: death, emotions, and religion. In 2019, he released Mood Swings, which contained harder instrumentals and took a sharp turn away from the emotional material of his previous effort.
