Doja Cat’s Career Journey

Amala Ratna Zandile Dlamini, whose stage name is Doja Cat was born on October 21, 1995, in California, United States. The singer graced the world of art through parents who cherished and practiced the arts as a profession, Doja Cat’s passion for music reached its full realization during her time in high school, and after recognizing where her true interests lay, she made a pivotal decision to prioritize her musical aspirations. As a result,  Doja made the bold choice to drop out of high school, allowing her to fully immerse herself in the pursuit of a music career.

However, the artist’s journey in music commenced long before she graced the spotlight in 2018. As a teenager, the sassy queen has been independently releasing songs on SoundCloud. The young aspiring singer continued this until one of her songs caught the attention of Kemosabe and RCA Records, an event which led to her signing a record deal at the tender age of 17 and the subsequent release of her first album, Purrr! in 2014.   While she might have gone low for a while, the star singer made a resounding return with her single “Mooo” in 2018, launching her straight into the limelight. The track became a viral sensation on social media, with over a million screens as a meme. She later incorporated it into the deluxe version of her debut album, alongside hits like “Juicy” (with Tyga) and “Tia Tamera” (featuring Rico Nasty) in 2019.
