I mean, I have so many things I want to say right now.
00:02
I want to say what it is, how it was, what's up.
00:05
I want to say let's get into this outfit you are giving.
00:08
It's, is that a, I mean, she's the gift that keeps on giving.
00:12
- Thank you so much.
00:16
- It's always an honor chatting with you.
00:19
Congratulations on a massive year.
00:22
You said that your first concert ever
00:24
was Formation Tour for Beyonce,
00:26
and then you just opened up for her at Renaissance.
00:29
What a full circle moment.
00:30
How did that make you feel?
00:31
- Incredible.
00:32
It is a full circle moment.
00:33
I think Beyonce is obviously the queen.
00:35
She's like my standard of performance.
00:37
So to perform for her, incredible.
00:39
- And I mean, is there a Beyonce-Dochi collab in the mix?
00:45
I mean, it could be an NDA, but you don't gotta say too much
00:47
but just give me a wink.
00:48
- No, not right now, but of course I would love to do that.
00:50
That would be amazing.
00:51
- I mean, you killed it.
00:52
You did your remix.
00:53
It was fire.
00:54
So last July, Billboard named you R&B Rookie of the Year,
00:58
Rookie of the Month, excuse me.
01:00
And then we honored you with the Rising Star in March
01:03
at Women in Music.
01:05
This was all before you debuted on the Hot 100.
01:08
And now with What It Is, you peaked at number 48.
01:12
Massive, congratulations.
01:15
I wanna know, what do you tell young Dochi
01:17
who wrote "Yucky, Blucky, Fruitcake"?
01:19
- Yeah, and actually, we just speak today at 41.
01:24
- What it is, how?
01:27
- So she's constantly rising.
01:29
But younger Dochi, what would I tell her?
01:32
Probably keep doing you, honestly.
01:34
I feel like I was doing everything right,
01:35
being myself, always.
01:37
- How does it feel to be, you know, no, you're all good.
01:39
How does it feel to be putting, I mean,
01:42
it seems so small, but putting Florida on the map.
01:44
Like, you are really the sound of the South right now.
01:46
- Thank you so much.
01:47
It feels amazing.
01:48
It feels like an honor.
01:49
Not a lot of people know about my city,
01:50
but I'm from Tampa, so Tampa, stand up, go.
