Amala Dlamini, better known by her stage name Doja Cat, has established herself as a global pop sensation amidst the pandemic’s rise of the internet. Despite having released music for over a decade, it was not until late 2019 that she achieved mainstream success with her viral TikTok hit, “Say So.” Since then, Doja Cat has conquered the music industry, garnering more hits, embarking on successful tours, and even clinching a Grammy for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance.
Recently, Dlamini delighted her fans by releasing a new single titled “Attention” and has exciting plans for an upcoming album called “Scarlet.” In a recent interview with Angie Martinez, she delved into her artistic process, fame, and the growing popularity of her music. Despite her global success, Dlamini remains humble, stating that she does not seek veneration but rather hopes to receive love and respect from those she appreciates.
The new album promises to dazzle fans with a blend of introspective tracks and infectious rhythms, as Dlamini expertly combines her rap skills with pop and singing. As an artist known for her visual artistry, Dlamini is taking more control over the filming and photography of her projects. She describes her current fashion style as chaotic and experimental, incorporating random and mismatched elements to create unique looks.
Not one to shy away from bold choices, Dlamini has been experimenting with prosthetics, recently appearing at the Met Gala wearing cat prosthetics. She believes that some fans go “crazy” when she makes drastic changes, such as shaving her head or eyebrows, as they feel a sense of ownership over her due to her strong online presence.
Looking ahead, Dlamini has ambitions beyond music. She aspires to venture into projects like clothing design, makeup, and acting. With a desire to immerse herself in acting, she envisions starring in movies she wholeheartedly believes in. Additionally, Dlamini has expressed an interest in stand-up comedy, having recently taken to the stage alongside Craig Robinson at a comedy club.
While personal growth takes precedence in her life currently, Dlamini also confirms she is in a committed relationship. She radiates positivity and emphasizes the importance of self-love in her journey.
As Doja Cat’s star continues to rise, fans eagerly await her upcoming album “Scarlet” and eagerly anticipate her foray into new artistic endeavors, eagerly supporting her evolution every step of the way.
