Lizzo
Breakout Artist
From the Series Gateway Biographies
Melissa Vivianne Jeffersion, known professionally as Lizzo, wasn’t always the celebrity that we know her as today.
She started as a musician playing flute in the elementary school band. She sang in several girl groups in Houston and Minneapolis before branching out as a solo artist. Along the way, she encountered obstacles that almost made her give up music altogether, but she came back stronger each time. More than a singer and entertainer, Lizzo is a role model and an advocate for body positivity and self-confidence. Follow Lizzo’s meteoric rise to fame, from a musically gifted youth to a singing superstar.
