Doja Cat

Doja Cat, born Amala Ratna Zandile Dlamini in Los Angeles, is a rapper, singer, songwriter and producer known for genre-blending music that moves fluidly between hip-hop, R&B, pop and electronic influences. She began uploading music independently as a teenager, and her stage name combines slang for marijuana with her affection for cats. Early viral moments, including the offbeat single «MOOO!», helped establish her irreverent, internet-savvy persona.

Her commercial breakthrough came with «Say So» from the album Hot Pink, which topped the Billboard Hot 100 following a remix featuring Nicki Minaj. She has since become one of the most consistent hitmakers of her generation, with songs like «Kiss Me More» featuring SZA, «Need to Know» and «Woman» showcasing her versatility across sultry R&B, playful pop-rap and dance-influenced production.

Doja Cat is distinguished by her sharp wit, genre fluidity, and willingness to experiment with sound and visual persona from project to project, moving from glossy pop on Hot Pink and Planet Her toward darker, rap-forward territory on later work like Scarlet. Her collaborations span pop, hip-hop and dance artists, and she has become known as much for bold artistic reinvention as for chart success.
