Biography
Lizzo is an American singer, rapper, songwriter, and actress who broke through pop charts after a decade in indie hip-hop. Born April 27, 1988, in Detroit, Michigan, she relocated to Houston at age 10, then Minneapolis post-college to launch her recording career. She released two independent studio albums—Lizzobangers (2013) and Big Grrrl Small World (2015)—before signing with Nice Life Recording Company and Atlantic Records. Her 2016 EP Coconut Oil preceded her mainstream breakthrough with the third album Cuz I Love You (2019), which peaked at number four on the Billboard 200 and spawned "Juice" and "Tempo". The deluxe edition reintroduced "Truth Hurts", a 2017 single that went viral two years later, topping the Billboard Hot 100 as the longest-leading solo song by a female rapper. Simultaneously, her 2016 single "Good as Hell" climbed to the top ten on both the Billboard Hot 100 and UK Singles Chart. At the 62nd Annual Grammy Awards, Lizzo earned eight nominations—the most that year—winning Best Urban Contemporary Album, Best Pop Solo Performance for "Truth Hurts", and Best Traditional R&B Performance for "Jerome". Her fourth album Special (2022) opened with "About Damn Time", which hit number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and made Lizzo the first Black female singer since Whitney Houston in 1994 to win Grammy Record of the Year. In 2025, she returned to hip-hop with the mixtape My Face Hurts from Smiling. Beyond music, Lizzo voiced a character in UglyDolls (2019), appeared in Hustlers (2019), and hosts Amazon Prime Video's Lizzo's Watch Out for the Big Grrrls, earning a Primetime Emmy for Outstanding Competition Program. Time named her Entertainer of the Year in 2019. Her life-path number 3 reflects creative expression and spontaneity. As a Taurus born April 27, she embodies the sign's determination and sensuality.
