Doja shares management label with Jamaican dancehall princess Shenseea who recently released her debut album Alpha. Shenseea announced last July in a now deleted instagram post that she has a new manager, Lebanese-Canadian industry executive Wassim ‘Sal’ Slaiby.
She said, “Allow me to introduce my new manager @salxo ,” Shenseea wrote. “I’m Happy to have one with such dynamic character on my team! We’re about to unfold a new chapter! More hard work, more determination but with the same God LET’s GO XO! .”
Under Sal’s management Shenseea performed at two Rolling Loud Festivals and got appearances on Kanye West’s Donda album which is up for Album Of The Year at the Grammys. She collaborated with Megan Thee Stallion, 21 Savage, Offset and Tyga on her debut album Alpha.
After experiencing industry backlash for the direction of her new music and the salacious video for Lick, Alpha was released March 11, selling on 845 pure copies and 4900 total unit consumption in its first week according to Luminate.
Sal is the co-founder of XO Record label and also manages The Weeknd, Ty Dolla $ign, M.I.A., Brandy, Bebe Rexha, French Montana, and Diddy.
