She’s more than just “100 percent that bitch” – Lizzo is an absolute phenomenon. This singer, songwriter, hip-hop artist, and classically-trained flute player is a quadruple threat that’s been taking the world by storm. Lizzo’s much more woman than you could ever handle, but you’re welcome to try if you like – just be aware that the line’s around the block and only getting longer each day, and that she deserves every last bit of praise she gets.

So Much More Than a Pretty Face

Born Melissa Viviane Jefferson in 1988, Lizzo knew from a young age that she wanted to be a performer. Bouncing from Detroit to Houston to Minneapolis in her quest to break into the music biz, she started making some real progress in 2011 with local releases. By 2013 she had made serious waves with her first solo release, Lizzobangers, and left on a UK tour with Har Mar Superstar. The hits kept coming: a collab with Prince in 2014, a second album release in 2015, and then major commercial success in 2016 saw this multitalented artist become a household name when her music started showing up everywhere from television and movie soundtracks to major tours and beyond. Lizzomania had begun, and let’s face it – that’s not changing any time soon.

A Bright Ray of Sunshine in a Dark World

Honest and raw, irrepressible, and at times, furiously mischievous, Lizzo is a warm, fuzzy cinnamon roll of a person and a performer, bringing light to the darkness one clever verse at a time. Her brilliant smile and body positivity light up each and every performance space she inhabits as much as her raw musical talent and rollicking musicality, making any Lizzo concert a thing of absolute beauty.
