Singer-rapper Melissa Jefferson aka Lizzo was born in Detroit, grew up in Houston (where she got her moniker) and eventually moved to Minneapolis and collaborated with Prince..There, she rapped with a few hip-hop groups but was equally drawn toward the indie-rock world. If you have heard my interview with her, you can tell how far she has come as an artist and popularity. 2019 is her breakout year with the #1 single, Truth Hurts on billboard for weeks. I think you’ll appreciate this interview, especially if you don’t know her come up story.

I am lover of sound and music, but not necessarily The Sound of Music (I'm more of a Mary Poppins kind of gal).  Hip Hop and rap that's where my heart's at, but I dig indie, pop, house, techno, afrobeat, Motown, funk, classical (some), and all kinds of music, old and new, too.

I also enjoy recording every day sounds - the hum of the fridge, the swish of leaves on the pavement, distant voices, the metro pulling into the station, and more - and using them in interesting ways.
