Doja Cat

About

Amala Ratna Zandile Dlamini (born October 21, 1995), known professionally as Doja Cat ( DOH-jə KAT), is an American rapper, singer, songwriter, and record producer. Born and raised in Los Angeles, Doja Cat began making and releasing music on SoundCloud. Her song "So High" caught the attention of Kemosabe and RCA Records, with which she signed a joint record deal. She released her debut EP Purrr! in 2014.

After a hiatus from releasing music and the uneventful rollout of her debut studio album, Amala (2018), Doja Cat earned viral success as an internet meme with her 2018 single "Mooo!", a novelty song in which she makes satirical claims about being a cow. Capitalizing on her growing popularity, she released her second studio album, Hot Pink, in the following year. It reached the top 10 of the US Billboard 200 and spawned the single "Say So", the remix of which, featuring Nicki Minaj, topped the Billboard Hot 100. Her third album, entitled Planet Her (2021), spent three consecutive weeks at number two on the Billboard 200 and spawned the top 10 singles "Kiss Me More" (featuring SZA), "Need to Know", and "Woman".

Described by The Wall Street Journal as "a skilled technical rapper with a strong melodic sense and a bold visual presence", Doja Cat is known for creating music videos and songs that achieve popularity on social media websites such as TikTok. Well-versed in internet culture, she is also famed for her absurdist online personality and stage presence. She has received numerous accolades throughout her career, including one Grammy Award from sixteen nominations, five Billboard Music Awards, five American Music Awards, and three MTV Video Music Awards. She was named one of the 100 most influential people in the world by Time in 2023.
