Doechii's Road to Stardom: Five-Year Plan Culminates at Glastonbury
The rising star outlines her ambitious journey towards music's pinnacle with Glastonbury as a key milestone.
Doechii, the musical alias of Jaylah Ji'mya Hickmon, is poised to grace the stage at Glastonbury, a landmark event in her five-year plan to cement her status in the music industry. In a 2023 interview with Billboard, she declared, "By year five I want to be at my peak," aspiring to maintain that momentum amidst her growth.
What seems like a bold ambition now appears to be within grasp as she readies herself to perform alongside the year's most anticipated acts. Initially recognized for her viral tracks, particularly "Persuasive," which featured on former President Barack Obama’s summer playlist, Doechii's trajectory transformed dramatically following numerous impactful performances.
The turning point is credited to her electrifying set on "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert," where she showcased a vibrant, choreographed rendition of her tracks "Boiled Peanuts" and "Denial Is a River." Two days later, her energy continued to win hearts with a Tiny Desk Concert, highlighting her storytelling ability across genres, further charming audiences at the Grammy Awards, where she earned accolades including Best Rap Album.
Since her emergence from Tampa, Florida, under the guidance of her single mother, Celesia Moore, Doechii has overcome significant personal struggles, which she often channels into her music. "I decided Doechii wouldn't stand for that," she reflected on her resilience against childhood bullying, embracing her alter ego as a source of strength and creativity.
Her musical journey commenced in 2016 on SoundCloud, with her early tracks ultimately leading to a deal with Top Dawg Entertainment after the success of her song "Yucky Blucky Fruitcake." The release of "Persuasive" solidified her presence, but her musical path hasn’t been devoid of challenges, including personal battles and setbacks.
Yet, as she continues to evolve, critical acclaim for her recent work, including her mixtape "Alligator Bites Never Heal," suggests that her artistry resonates with both fans and critics alike. The anticipation builds around her upcoming debut album, as Doechii hints at a deeper introspection on her growth and evolution as an artist.
While the Glastonbury set promises to be a seminal moment, it represents merely a segment of Doechii's ambitious five-year vision – a vision that not only aims for personal success but also seeks to empower young individuals, especially women of color in the music industry. As she passionately proclaimed during her Grammy speech, Doechii stands as an emblem of resilience and creative prowess, making her upcoming performance one of the festival's most anticipated events, ensuring every minute on stage will be nothing short of captivating.
