Doja Cat Biography

Amala Ratna Zandile Dlamini (Zulu: ['zandile 'ɮamini]; born October 21, 1995), known professionally as Doja Cat ( DOH-jə), is an American rapper and singer. Born and raised in Los Angeles, she began making and releasing music on SoundCloud as a teenager. Her song "So High" caught the attention of Kemosabe and RCA Records, with which she signed a joint record deal before releasing her debut EP Purrr! in 2014.
