Doechii's distinct artistry is demonstrated by her stage presence, which blends hip-hop and theatrical elements. She claims that hip-hop permits a wide range of emotional expression and has acknowledged Busta Rhymes as a major influence, especially for his expressive performance style.

She has won multiple AMAs and VMAs, five Billboard Music Awards, a Grammy Award, and other honors for her inventiveness and work ethic.


Doja’s praise not only acknowledges Doechii’s talent but also positions her as a future powerhouse in the industry. With her unique approach to hip-hop and a growing list of achievements, Doechii is proving that she is indeed "here to stay."
