Career

Dolla was formed in August 2019 through auditions. The members did not know each other prior to their auditions.[5]

Dolla gained pre-debut public attention for their performance at the #RapstarEra Final, at The Bee Republika.[6] On 20 March 2020, they released their debut single "Dolla Make You Wanna", produced by Australian composer and producer Bryan B, and written by Zamaera, Bryan B, Shou Raion, and Luca Sickta.

Dolla was one of seventeen Malaysian artists to collaborate with Universal Music Malaysia to produce the song, "#jangankeluar" (translation: "Don't Go Out), a hip hop song produced by Yonnyboii. The song was released as part of a public health appeal to remind Malaysians to keep to the Malaysian Government's Movement Control Order during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The group, along with their fellow Southeast Asian artists, collaborated on the song, "HEAL", produced by Star Music, a wholly owned subsidiary of ABS-CBN Corporation.[7]

Dolla released "Impikan" and its English version, "Watch Me Glow" in October 2020.[8] They released their third single, "Berani" in September 2021.[9]

On 13 November 2021, Dolla was nominated for the 34th Bintang Popular Berita Harian Awards as Most Popular Female New Artist and won in that category, making the group as the first all-female group to won the category. [10]

In February 2022, they released their single, "Bad" in Malay and English. In the same month, they held their first showcase.
