The Venezuelan singer Bárbara Doza enhances the empowerment and freedom of expression of women through her music, with the purpose of breaking deep-rooted taboos, as she said in an interview with EFE in the Mexican capital.
In songs like “Chula” and “Papi,” Doza expresses himself directly and bluntly, as he considers this directness to be a fundamental part of his personality.
For her, it is essential to recover the freedom of expression that has often been restricted to women.
The artist highlighted that “Chula” is dedicated precisely to that, to the idea of female liberation and empowerment.
“The boy can talk about women, he can talk about money, he can talk about what can be done to women in the act, but it is very ordinary for a woman to say it. I feel like it’s a bit of an old-fashioned taboo,” she remarked.
That is why the singer stated that the world of music continues to be sexist.
“Many negative comments come to light because when a woman makes that type of music she is a whore, but when a man makes it she is not,” she stressed.
Doza does not limit himself to any particular genre as he excels in a variety of styles, although trap holds a special place in his heart as he comes from an “underground hip hop” culture.
So far, the artist has released three singles: “Papi,” which is a reggae song and her musical debut; “Chula,” a trap track; and “Llévame”, a mix of trap and pop.
Music: from hobby to profession
From a very young age, music has always played a fundamental role in the singer’s life, being a fundamental element in her family, “something that is in genetics,” she explained.
“I think that’s something that’s always been in me. I can’t say when I started loving music because it’s part of me and it’s always been there,” she expressed.
At the age of 19, Doza escaped from his country and his family, leaving behind part of his professional career, to finally see his “hobby” become a true profession in Puerto Rico.
“I emigrated to Puerto Rico and started my musical career, but then Hurricane Maria arrived and led me to emigrate to Miami and that is where I met my work team and my producer Jerry Beats,” he emphasized.

His meeting with Jerry Beats, producer of Doja Cat
Music producer Jerry Bets has collaborated closely with successful artist Doja Cat, contributing to the creation of her distinctive sound and the success of her musical productions.
“Yeti (as she calls him) appeared in my life and everything began to be organized into a good musical project, which was what I was missing,” he confessed.
The artist acknowledged that she had been listening to Doja’s music for a long period of time and, without realizing it, had also enjoyed Jerry’s instrumentals without knowing that they were his.
“I met him and we made the biggest match of our lives. On a creative level we complement each other a lot because we are both extremely chameleon-like,” she stressed.
The dream of representing your country
Bárbara has a dream of representing immigrants and her country worldwide.
“I feel that until now there is no artist who represents Venezuela on a global level and I feel that I am not going to stop working until I represent it, so that everything we Venezuelans have gone through is worth it,” he highlighted.
The artist concluded that despite the difficulties that many Venezuelans face in their country, she is determined to leave a mark in the music industry.
