Amethyst Amelia Kelly

Iggy Azalea, whose real name is Amethyst Amelia Kelly, was born in Sydney on June 7, 1990. But soon the family of the future famous artist moved to Mullumbimbi - a small town in New South Wales. In Mullumbimbi, the Kelly couple owned a 12-acre plot on which Iggy's father had built a brick house with his own hands.

The father of the young Amethyst was a painter by education, and his main job was drawing comics. Iggy's mom supported the family budget by cleaning up hotels and holiday homes. As Azalea herself later admitted, her father-artist instilled in her a love of art and, at the same time, a specific "teenage" view of it, which gradually became part of her worldview.

The girl, whose songs and videos are now exploding numerous charts, has felt a craving for music since childhood. She dreamed of one day becoming a glorified star, and at the age of 14 she first began to rap.

Around the same time, Iggy formed a small group, which, in addition to herself, included two local girls. Azalea really liked performing and being a rapper, but soon she left this amateur group, as her partners did not take the young artist seriously.

From a young age, Amethyst dreamed in reality of how she would move to America. In her country, the aspiring rapper felt like a failure, and it seemed to her that in the USA, the homeland of hip-hop, everything would be completely different.

Iggy never built castles in the air - she was always serious about what she does, what she plans, what she dreams about. Therefore, soon after the failure with her own group, the girl dropped out of school and began to help her mother clean up hotel rooms and holiday houses.

Having accumulated enough money to move to the United States, at the age of sixteen, the girl went to pursue her dream. Naturally, the parents would not approve of the daughter's moving to another country, and even before the onset of majority, because of which Azalea had to go to the trick. She told mom and dad that she was going to America supposedly for some holiday with a friend. And then she called home and said that she intends to stay in the States.

Although the naive dreams of young girls often turn out to be far from reality, in the case of Iggy this did not happen: she felt extremely comfortable in the USA, felt that this was where she should be. The girl was not embarrassed by financial problems and the fact that she was alone far from home. She found a job, traveled around the country and enjoyed a dream come true despite her young age.

So, at first, the young artist lived in Florida, in sunny Miami. She then briefly moved to Texas, lived for a while in Houston, and then went to Georgia. After living for some time in Atlanta, Iggy moved to the most "star" region of America - California. In Los Angeles, the girl decided to "settle", and it is in this city that she still lives.

Just after moving to the USA, the pseudonym "Iggy Azalea" appeared. According to the artist, her old dog was called Iggy, and in memory of her she often wore a necklace with the name of her dear pet. But people who do not know the whole background assumed that Iggy was the name of the girl herself, and they addressed her that way. Gradually, the artist got used to such an address and supplemented it with the word "Azalea", having received a now widely known pseudonym.

In 2010, after moving to Los Angeles, Iggy Azalea decided to seriously pursue her musical creativity. As a representative of the youth of the 21st century, the girl was not at all going to knock the thresholds of recording studios and throw herself at the feet of music producers. Instead, Azalea began recording her songs and uploading them to YouTube.

Iggy's peculiar style of recitative and her undoubted rapping talent became the reason that her channel on the popular video hosting site was gaining more and more subscribers. And when in 2011 the artist posted her first official video (for the song "Pu $$ y"), they started talking about her as one of the brightest young talents.

This song, as well as the subsequently released mixtape "Ignorant Art", formalized and consolidated the individuality of Azalea's work: her lyrics are provocative, bold, sometimes bordering on vulgarity and designed to break the usual patterns. Perhaps, earlier, the girl could have been recognized as too promiscuous and impudent, but in the 21st century, her looseness has come to the taste of hip-hop fans.

The attention of record labels was not long in coming: in 2012, the girl signed a contract with Grand Hustle Records for the release of her first studio album. The mini-album was called "Glory" and included the song "Murda Bizness" and five more songs. The disc was posted for free access, and since then it has been downloaded over 100 thousand times.

In the fall of 2012, the artist released her second mixtape, TrapGold, shortly after that she began working on a new album, The New Classic, and the upcoming singles. At the same time, the aspiring artist was lucky to work with such a performer as Rita Ora. In early 2013, Rita embarked on a UK concert tour called the Radioactive Tour and took Azalea along as an opening act.

This was followed by a successful presentation of the first single from the recorded album - the song "Work", a contract with the label "Mercury Records", shooting a video for the new single and even an invitation from the famous rapper Nas to take part in the European part of his tour.

In June 2013, Iggy Azalea performed at the Chime for Change benefit concert in London. Jennifer Lopez, Beyonce and many other famous artists performed on the same stage.

Roughly in the same spirit, Iggy Azalea's career developed until 2014, when a real breakthrough happened in her creative life: a single called "Fancy" quite unexpectedly became a real world hit.

The song exploded many world charts and, more importantly, reached number one on the Billboard Hot Rap Songs chart. Iggy turned out to be the first white rapper to top the chart. In the States alone, "Fancy" has sold over 4 million copies.

The singer owes her next success on Billboard to Ariana Grande, with whom she recorded the single "Problem". In the fall of 2014, Rita Ora also remembered about the talented young artist: the girls sang the song "Black Widow" together.

Well-deserved awards were not long in coming. So, in 2014, the Australian ARIA AWARDS awarded the girl the title of "Best People's Artist". In the same year, Iggy won the American Music Awards for Favorite Hip-Hop / Rap Album and Favorite Hip-Hop / Rap Artist. And in 2015, at the American People's Choice Awards, Azalea was awarded the status of "Favorite Hip-Hop Artist" by the people.

In 2016, Iggy released a new album, Digital Destruction.

Iggy Azalea is widely known for the fact that the parameters of her figure can hardly be called classic. The performer has very lush hips and buttocks, which she is proud of, exposing her figure in every possible way.

It was rumored that Iggy had implants in her buttocks, but these rumors have not been confirmed. At the same time, the photo taken by the paparazzi clearly shows the cellulite on the girl's thighs. The press also often reported that the artist made a breast, and comparisons were made of the girl's appearance before and after the alleged plastic surgery.

Azalea loves to shock the audience not only with her lyrics, but also with her outfits. In 2013, at the MTV EMA ceremony in Amsterdam, an embarrassment happened to the girl: an overly revealing dress and poorly chosen underwear became the reason that the girl did not look very impressive in the photo from the red carpet.

The attitude of the hip-hop community towards Iggy Azalea cannot be called unambiguous. So, usually the good rapper Snoop Dogg somehow initiated a real scandal on his Instagram page, saying that Iggy, unlike Nikki Minaj, is not worthy of the title of a rapper.

In recent years, a lot of thoughts about Azalea in the press have been devoted to who her boyfriend is. The girl's partner was rapper Asap Rocky. Then the actress's beloved basketball player Nick Young, who even proposed to Iggy. But, having learned about the betrayal of her fiancé, the performer terminated the engagement. Then the girl spent some time with rapper French Montana.

To date, her chosen one is the producer LJ Curry. The couple was recently spotted on a joint vacation off the coast of Cabo San Lucas.
