Amala Ratna Zandile Dlamini aka Doja Cat, is an American singer, rapper and songwriter. Born and raised in Los Angeles, she began making and releasing music on SoundCloud as a teenager. Doja Cat signed a joint record deal with RCA Records and Kemosabe Records at the age of 17 and subsequently released her debut extended play, Purrr!, in 2014.

Doja Cat rose to prominence as an internet meme in 2018 with her novelty song "Mooo!", which went viral online. She subsequently became known for creating music videos and songs that achieve popularity on social media apps like TikTok and YouTube. She released her debut studio album, Amala, in 2018, followed by a new release in 2019, which included the singles "Tia Tamera" and "Juicy". Her second studio album, Hot Pink (2019), reached the top 10 of the Billboard 200 as a result of the successful single "Say So", which topped the Billboard Hot 100 following the release of a remix featuring Nicki Minaj. The release of Hot Pink and "Say So" is credited with helping reinforce Doja Cat as an authentic "star" in the music industry rather than simply an internet meme.

Since the start of 2020, Doja Cat has received nominations for two BET Awards, two People's Choice Awards, one Billboard Music Award, two MTV Europe Music Awards and four MTV Video Music Awards, winning one of the latter for Push Best New Artist.
