Shiloh Hoganson (born April 25, 1993), also known professionally simply as Shiloh, Doll, and Lyldoll, is a Canadian singer songwriter from Saskatcewan and Edmonton, Alberta, Canada whose career started in 2008. She was initially signed to Universal Music Canada and soon released her first album, Picture Imperfect. She was also signed to Universal Republic in America. She also released the standalone single, 'Can't Hold On' in 2010. She was also known for a time on YouTube as Draculoh.
Later in 2010, however, she had been contacted by controversial YouTuber Onision, after she had been a fan of his and replied to several of his Tweets from before then and had contacted him via emails. When she traveled down to America to get in shape for a planned upcoming tour at the time, they finally met in person after he traveled to the state where she was, then he flew to Canada where they began a relationship when she was 17. He then had her move in with him in his house in Washington, US where she then started costarring in his YouTube videos from the time. At some point, they broke up for several months, but they eventually got back together and announced she had gotten pregnant soon after. She miscarried after 5 weeks, but the fetus wouldn't pass through her system naturally, so she flew back to Canada to get treatment after 11 more weeks of being in danger of getting sick because Onision wouldn't pay for the hospital visit. After this, her mother wouldn't allow her to return to him and stole her passport to make sure she couldn't and she stayed there. During this period, she stopped producing music and touring.
She's retrospectively described her stay with Onision as very stressful, as he was (allegedly) very emotionally abusive and manipulative to her to the point where she had a stress-induced seizure and suffered a case of amnesia, losing years of her memory. He also wouldn't call emergency services for that incident either, in favor of filming it to document what was happening and throwing it up on YouTube for all to see. She later said she was thankful to her mother for not letting her go back to him. She spent several years in therapy afterwards.
In 2017, she re-emerged as a recording artist under a new indie label she started herself called Another Mother Music and changed her style to a more mainstream Pop style, being influenced by the likes of Billie Eilish. She also now operates under the stage name Lyldoll. She released her second studio album, 1993 in 2019 after releasing some singles in 2018 and has started touring again.

Tropes related to her and her works:
- Darker and Edgier: Her second album compared to her first. Makes sense, though.
- Meaningful Name: Her second album's name is the same year she was born, most likely symbolizing a rebirth, as she had changed her style completely for it.
- New Sound Album: Her second sounds absolutely nothing like her first, as mentioned up top.
- Pop Punk: Her first album is very similar to fellow artists Avril Lavigne, All Time Low, and McFly where she has a balanced mix of Pop Punk, Pop Rock, and Power Pop.
- Teen Idol: She started her career at 15/16 years old.
