Get to know Lizzo before her record-breaking live performance at Atlantis on Saturday, March 25.

Lizzo, born Melissa Viviane Jefferson on April 27, 1988, is a 4X GRAMMY® Award-winning singer, songwriter, rapper, actress, and flutist from Detroit, Michigan. She began performing in her hometown as a teenager and later moved to Minneapolis, where she became a part of the city's vibrant music scene.

RISE TO FAME

Lizzo first gained attention with the release of her debut album, "Lizzobangers," in 2013. But it was her third album, "Cuz I Love You," released in 2019, that propelled her to international stardom. The album featured the hit singles "Juice" and "Truth Hurts" — the latter of which topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart and earned her several award nominations.

In addition to her music career, Lizzo is known for her body positivity and advocacy for self-love. She has been open about her struggles with mental health and has spoken out about issues such as racism and police brutality.

In addition to her music career, Lizzo has also acted in several films, including "Hustlers" and "UglyDolls." Since beginning her career, she has won several awards, including four Grammy Awards, and was named Time magazine's "Entertainer of the Year" in 2019.
