She went to Blake High School! After her album release, she visited the school & the marching band played for her. :’) very proud of what she’s accomplished.

Worth shouting out her NPR Tiny Desk performance.

Her track Nissan Altima popped up on my radar earlier last year and I've been paying attention ever since. She has the talent and charisma to justify this attention and I'm glad this spotlight is putting her on the radar of those that would otherwise not know who she is. She's a unique artist in the genre, that's for sure.

I started loving Doechii before even knowing she was from Tampa. Persuasive w/ SZA & What It Is got pretty huge. Then I saw she was the one who did the 2020 tiktok viral Yucky Blucky Fruitcake and was like who is this artist!

THEN I found out she is from Tampa & graduated from Blake. She shouts out the 813 in boiled peanuts & drops an address that’s next to Ferrell middle which back in the day had so many kids going to then Blake, Middleton or Tech. She is the realest & best part of Tampa.

And I can’t stop screaming about her since. Was definitely yelling last night when she won right at the top of the show too. If you can find her entire speech it’s worth a listen - she gives Tampa a huge shout out moment too.

I haven't been into the genre for maybe 10+ years so never heard of her until last night and her performance, and I really dig her sound.

Yesterday pre-grammys I was listening to her stuff. She's amazing I'm so glad she got recognition! I don't really follow award shows so a friend told me this morning she got a Grammy and I was so happy for her.
