About Doja Cat
Doja Cat first gained attention on SoundCloud as a teenager, uploading "So High" on November 8, 2012.

Her follow-up album Hot Pink produced "Say So," which topped the Billboard Hot 100 after a remix with Nicki Minaj. Her next album Planet Her spent four weeks at number two and included hits like "Kiss Me More" with SZA and "Woman." With Scarlet in 2023, she shifted to a more hip-hop sound, and its lead single "Paint the Town Red" became her first solo number-one single in the U.S. and eight other countries. She has won one Grammy from sixteen nominations and has also received Billboard Music Awards, American Music Awards, and MTV Video Music Awards.
