Doechii

My music is dedicated to all those who have encouraged me to strive for excellence and even to those who may have doubted me along the way.

I love mysterious women who have this sacred feeling about them, because I'm just not that girl. I could never be mysterious. I talk too much.

I know that after me, there's going to be more female rappers that are a part of TDE. I want to make sure that I do everything, so that the next girl feels comfortable doing everything.

I know I've got a hard rap mixtape but I'm a rockstar, and I love pop music. It's not hard for me to genre bend - I'm a chameleon when it comes to music.

The name Doechii came to me in a really dark time. I was looking for Doechii to be somebody that I wasn't ready to be at the time, but I always knew Doechii and Jaylah were one person. God showed me and now I know my destiny and purpose.

Where I grew up in my city, there was no one who acted like me, so I felt insecure, and when I would read those books - Junie B Jones, or Dr Seuss - those characters felt like me. It didn't teach me good morals, but in other ways it kind of did. It gave me the bravery to be myself because I saw somebody else being like me.
