“Skechers has given me a new canvas to create, and I can’t wait to show everyone what we are building,” said Doja Cat, who wore a custom dress made from deconstructed Skechers Uno fashion sneakers during her performance at the TIME100 gala in New York on Wednesday night.
Grammy award-winning Doja Cat made her first upload to Soundcloud in 2013 at 16 years old. Raised in LA, she studied piano and dance as a kid. Signed to Kemosabe/RCA in 2014, she released her Purrr! EP followed by her debut album Amala in 2018, but the release of her single “Mooo!” in late 2018 catapulted her into the mainstream. The following year, she released her Grammy-nominated platinum album Hot Pink, which features “Streets,” that soundtracked the ‘Silhouette Challenge’ and her Grammy-nominated #1 record, “Say So” which has been RIAA certified six-times platinum.
Doja was named one of the 100 most influential people of 2023 by Time Magazine.
Doja’s Grammy award-winning third album Planet Her debuting at #1 on the Billboard Top R&B Albums chart and #2 on the Billboard Top 200 and Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart. It also generated the highest first-day Spotify streams for an album by a female rapper.
Earlier this year, Doja became the first woman to have four #1 hits from one album and landed #1 on the Billboard Artist 100 chart for the first time.
In October 2022, Doja’s single “Vegas” from the Elvis Original Motion Picture Soundtrack hit #1 on Pop Radio, leading her to have the most #1’s at Pop Radio in this decade, but also the highest number of Top 10s among women on the Billboard Hot 100 this decade.
