Lady Gaga is singing the praises of hip-hop’s rising star Doechii, calling the 26-year-old artist “immediately legendary.”
“You don’t often see someone come out of the gate with a pen that feels immediately legendary,” Gaga said in a new cover story for British Vogue published Thursday, July 10. “That’s Doechii to me. I fell in love with her music and her raw, deeply personal perspective. The power in her words, her vulnerability, the way she rhymes with this wild mix of audacity and emotional precision — it struck me to the core.”
Now, it’s Doechii who is in the spotlight. She’s scheduled to perform at San Francisco’s Outside Lands festival on Aug. 8, capping a breakout year that’s included a Grammy win, viral performances and a headlining slot at Glastonbury Festival.
In Doechii’s Vogue profile, the Florida native reflected on her journey from a churchgoing teen in Tampa to a genre-bending artist with global reach.
