Doja Cat

Amala Ratna Zandile Dlamini (born 21 October 1995), aka Doja Cat, is a rapper and singer from Los Angeles. She released her first EP, Purrr!, in 2014 after signing to RCA Records. Following a series of moderately successful singles, she achieved her breakthrough with the 2018 single “Mooo!,” which became a viral Internet sensation. Her debut album, Amala, was released in 2018 with the single “Juicy” breaking into the Billboard Hot 100 at Number 83. She collaborated with Rico Nasty, Elliphant, Hellboy, Tyga, and Skoolie Escobar before releasing her second album Hot Pink in 2019, charting at Number 19 on the Billboard 200. In January 2020, she broke into the Hot 100 with another viral single “Say So.” The track also earned her two nominations for Record of the Year and Best Pop Solo Performance at the 63rd edition of the Grammy Awards. Preceded by the SZA collaborative single “Kiss Me More,” which peaked at Number 4 in the US, her third full-length Planet Her arrived in 2021. The album also featured guest spots by Ariana Grande, The Weeknd, and Young Thug, and reached the Top 5 on the Billboard Hot 100. Her fourth studio album Scarlet arrived in September 2023 and landed Doja Cat her first solo US chart-topper for "Paint the Town Red," which also scaled the top of the UK singles chart. Her follow-up album Vie dropped on September 26, 2025, marking her return to pop-driven territory with 1980s touches, and its lead single “Jealous Type” arrived ahead of release to signal the era’s sonic direction. Vie comprised 15 tracks, was largely recorded at Miraval Studios in France, and features production from Jack Antonoff among others.
