Today, meet Doja Cat:
Doja Cat, born Amala Ratna Zandile Dlamini on October 21, 1995, is an American singer, rapper, and songwriter known for her versatility in music styles, ranging from R&B and hip hop to pop and funk. Her initial fame came with the viral hit “Mooo!” on YouTube in 2018.
Raised in Los Angeles, California, Doja Cat also spent a significant part of her childhood in Rye, New York, where she was partly raised by her grandmother. This bi-coastal upbringing provided her with a diverse cultural and artistic background, influencing her music and style. Her mother, Deborah Elizabeth Sawyer, is a Jewish-American painter, and her father, Dumisani Dlamini, is a South African actor, composer, and film producer. Doja Cat’s time in Rye, known for its affluent community and picturesque settings, may have played a role in shaping her artistic vision.
Her debut album, “Amala,” released in 2018, gained moderate success, but it was her second album, “Hot Pink” (2019), especially the single “Say So,” that propelled her to stardom. This song became especially popular on TikTok, showcasing her appeal to a broad audience.
Beyond her music, Doja Cat is recognized as a fashion icon and has a significant presence on social media, where she actively engages with her fans. Her dynamic personality and ability to continuously reinvent herself have made her a prominent figure in the music industry. As of April 2023, Doja Cat remains an influential and celebrated artist.
Is this what Rye is producing now? Why is this being held as an example of talent? It’s pornographic, obscene & disgusting.
