Doja Cat handpicked us to perform with her at Coachella – The Joy's ...
Local musical act The Joy has spilled all the details on how they ended up performing with Doja Cat at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival.
The American rapper and singer, who is the estranged daughter of SA actor Dumisani Dlamini, is one of the headliners this year with No Doubt, Lana Del Rey and Tyler, the Creator.
In a surprise appearance, the five-piece Mzansi band joined Doja Cat on stage for a special rendition of her two track Acknowledge Me and Shutcho – with a Zulu twist. The group comprises of Pastor (Ntokozo Bright Magcaba), Duzie (Melokuhle Mkhungo), Guduza (Sphelele Hlophe), Sthombe (Phelelani Sithole) and Marcus (Sanele Ngcobo).
In an exclusive interview with Sowetan after the moment, lead vocalist Duzie shared that they were handpicked.
“Doja’s management team connected with our manager Sevi from Black Major. They told us this is something she had been wanting to do since she started following us on our social media platforms a couple of years ago,” Duzie said.
“We love Doja and literally screamed when we heard she wanted us to share the stage of the biggest festival in the world.”
