As she grew older and moved away from the ashram, she moved on to breakdancing classes and joined a professional poplocking troupe with whom she competed in dance battles throughout Los Angeles while still attending high school. While at the ashram she had been dancing the style of Indian classical dance called Bharatanatyam. She claims to have lacked interest in school from then on, instead taking a liking for dance. Dlamini and her brother also experienced harsh racism as they were some of the only mixed-race children in the area. Her family then returned to California in Oak Park, where she started attending dance lessons and experienced a 'sporty childhood', often skateboarding and visiting Malibu for surf camps. While living at the commune, Dlamini started wearing head-covering scarves and singing bhajans at temple, yet felt like she could not properly 'be a kid' at the ashram. The swami and founder of the commune was American jazz musician Alice Coltrane (known by the Sanskrit name Turiyasangitananda). At the age of eight, Dlamini moved with her mother and brother to the Sai Anantam Ashram, a commune in the mountains of Santa Monica, and practiced Hinduism for four years. Soon after her birth, Dlamini moved from Tarzana to Rye, New York, where she lived for five years with her maternal grandmother, a Jewish architect and painter. ĭlamini spent her pre-teen years practicing Hinduism on an ashram led by Alice Coltrane ( pictured). Her father has denied these claims, claiming that he has a 'healthy' relationship with his daughter and that her management team had tried to block all his attempts to contact her out of the fear that they might lose her. He claims to have left his family in the US for South Africa out of homesickness, in the hopes that they would join him there, yet Doja Cat has on multiple occasions suggested that she is estranged from her father, claiming that she 'never met him'. The two had a brief relationship after meeting in New York City where Dumisani performed on Broadway, but he was too busy on tour to spend time with Amala and her brother. Her mother, Deborah Sawyer, is an American graphic designer of Ashkenazi Jewish heritage, and her father, Dumisani Dlamini, is a South African performer of Zulu descent, best known for starring as Crocodile in the original Broadway cast of the musical Sarafina! and the 1992 film adaptation. 2.3 2019–2020: Breakthrough with Hot PinkĪmala Ratna Zandile Dlamini was born on October 21, 1995, in the Tarzana neighborhood of Los Angeles, California, into an artistic family.
