A three-time MTV Europe Music Award winner, she is among the most successful Polish artists in terms of number of prizes won.

She has received multiple certifications from the Polish Society of the Phonographic Industry for the sales of her albums and singles in Poland.

[2] Her best known songs include "Nie daj się", "Dżaga", "Szansa", "Znak pokoju", "2 bajki", "Fake Love", "Melodia ta" and the chart-topping and Diamond-certified single "Nim zajdzie słońce" with Smolasty.

The group disbanded in 2006 (briefly reuniting in 2016), and Doda embarked on a solo career, releasing four studio albums: Diamond Bitch (2007), 7 pokus głównych (2011), Dorota (2019) and Aquaria (2022).

[8][9] Forbes Poland included Doda in its annual ranking of the 100 most-valuable stars of Polish show business every year from 2006 to 2014.

[10] In 2011, Helen Pidd of The Guardian named Doda one of the most successful and one of the most controversial Polish musical artists of all time.

To promote the band and the album further, Doda took part in the Polish version of the reality TV series called The Bar.

After a line-up change the group performed their new single, a power-ballad "Znak pokoju", at the Sopot International Song Festival and won its Viewers' Choice Award.

[20] In April 2006, Doda was rushed to hospital due to a problem with her intervertebral disc making the band fall into a hiatus for a while.

[21] After having a complicated spine surgery, she made her return with the voice role of Abba in the Polish-language version of the animated film Asterix and the Vikings.

"To jest to" was chosen as the second single to promote the album, but the biggest hit, "Nie daj się", was released in June 2008.

Later that year, she made a cameo as herself in the film Serce na dłoni directed by Krzysztof Zanussi.

In June 2010, Doda released the English-language version of the first single from her second studio album, "Bad Girls".

"Bad Girls" became a big hit, particularly in 2011, after the premiere of its big-budget music video, delayed due to the illness of her then-fiancé Nergal, leader of the death metal group Behemoth, who battled leukaemia.

[33] In November 2011, Doda became a columnist for the Polish edition of Maxim magazine, writing for its first two issues[34] In December, she posed for Playboy USA.

[35] In February 2012, Doda released the song "Kac Wawa", a theme from the Polish comedy movie of the same name.

By doing so, she surpassed the record previously held by Tokio Hotel and herself, and became the only artist in the world to win 12 VIVA Comet Awards.

However, it managed to gain popularity on the internet, and amassed over one million views on YouTube within the first 24 hours of its premiere.

[39] Both "Riotka" and "Nie pytaj mnie" were written by Chelcee Grimes who previously worked with Kylie Minogue and The Saturdays.

In October 2015, Doda's manager announced that the songs would remain stand-alone singles, and would not be included on her third studio album as she decided to take a different musical direction.

That year, she released the singles "Don't Wanna Hide",[49] "Fake Love" and "Melodia ta".

[53] Doda was born to father Paweł Rabczewski, a weightlifter, and mother Wanda, a civil servant.

[56] On 9 May 2009, it became public that she had a relationship with the frontman of the extreme metal band Behemoth, Adam Darski (aka Nergal).

[61] On 14 April 2018, she married film producer Emil Stępień in a private ceremony in Marbella, Spain.

[67] Some of Polish public persons, such as former Prime Minister of Poland Włodzimierz Cimoszewicz, philosopher Wojciech Krysztofiak, pharmacologist Jerzy Vetulani and members of Palikot's Movement criticized the judgment.

[68][69][70][71] Doda commented that "she was a victim of Polish anachronistic jurisdiction" and submitted the case to European Court of Human Rights, which was accepted for consideration in 2017.

She has financially supported a number of organizations including the ones raising funds for people suffering from multiple sclerosis[77] and leukemia[78] as well as for the Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity.

[80] She also received the Health Protection Leader of the Year title for her contributions to propagating bone marrow donation and transplantology.

[82] The concert took place on 27 February 2019 in Atlas Arena in Łódź with over 100 artists participating including Maryla Rodowicz, Margaret, Sarsa, Cleo, Ewa Farna, Ewelina Lisowska, Gromee, Dawid Kwiatkowski, Patrycja Markowska, C-BooL, Beata Kozidrak, Golec uOrkiestra, Peja, Halina Mlynkova, and Blue Café.

[83] On 3 August 2019, she showed her support for the LGBT community in Poland by performing in a rainbow outfit during the Disco pod gwiazdami concert in Białystok[84] where a couple of weeks before violence from far-right protesters broke out during the first ever pride parade organized in the city.
