Influences: Nicki Minaj, Beyoncé, Rihanna, Aaliyah, Janet Jackson, Missy Elliott, Prince, D'Angelo, Busta Rhymes, Erykah Badu, TLC, Tupac Shakur, Earth, Wind & Fire, DMX, India.Arie, Jamiroquai, Katy PerryAmalaratna Zandile Dlamini (born October 21, 1995), better known by her stage name Doja Cat, is an American singer, rapper, songwriter and record producer from Los Angeles.Doja Cat began her music career in 2012, with her debut single "So High" catching the attention of two record labels that she signed a joint deal with. She released her debut EP Purrr! in 2014 through this deal, after which she embarked on a four-year hiatus due to what she described as a "creative limbo", influenced by drug use and neglect from her labels.Her hiatus ended with the release of several singles from her debut album Amala; upon its release in March 2018, the album was largely ignored by critics and failed commercially, and Doja Cat herself would publicly state that she was unhappy with the album. However, around five months later, her self-released single "Mooo!", a joke song about being a cow, brought her to online fame, with its music video quickly going viral and reaching meme status. Her career has continued from there with further successful releases solidifying her mainstream popularity, spawning hits such as "Say So" (which topped the Billboard Hot 100 with help from a remix featuring Nicki Minaj), "Kiss Me More" (featuring SZA), "Need to Know" and "Woman". She has been praised for her singing and rapping skills as well as the high virality of her songs and music videos, aided by her knowledge of internet culture and her absurdist public persona.Music-wise, Doja Cat mainly dances in between Pop, Contemporary R&B, and Hip-Hop, sometimes even in the same song. However, she has also tapped into other genres, such as disco with the aforementioned "Say So" and even rock, as she did a rock cover of "Say So" for the MTV Europe Music Awards.

Three Minutes of Writhing
 Doja Cat (Music) / int_2414e81d
comment
Three Minutes of Writhing: "Like That"'s music video is half this half Animated Music Video; every shot of Doja is her dancing in skimpy clothes. "Say So" is four minutes of Doja dancing in skimpy clothing. The narrative of the video is that she's trying to seduce a repairman in her home so that's justified, though much of the video is non-diegetic and just there to showcase the singer's dancing and body.

Updated Re Release: Following the success of "Mooo!" and "Tia Tamera", a deluxe version of Amala was released featuring those songs. A deluxe version of Planet Her was also released two days after the regular version, adding five new songs including collaberations with rappers Eve and Gunna, while also adding Doja's originally removed rap verse from the track "You Right".

Genre Roulette
 Doja Cat (Music) / int_4b1ca7d2
comment
Genre Roulette: Doja Cat is classified as a R&B/Soul artist by her label, but her versatility as an artist has her dipping many genres. This has led to some controversy online when she won “Best Soul/R&B Artist� at the American Music Awards in 2020, as many felt she was wrongly placed in that category. To be fair, her first album Amala leaned more towards R&B.

The "Like That" video has multiple animated sections showing an anime-esque rendition of Doja Cat, and the live-action sections feature various cartoon-like animated effects.

Pink Is Erotic: As part of her sex appeal, Doja Cat is associated with the color pink when she appears scantily clad. As shown by the album Hot Pink and the "grass outfit" shown in the page image where she wields pink hedge clippers, wears pink gloves and she has dyed her hair pink. Doja Cat is also seen as an icon for sex positivity and body confidence.
