After moving to Houston, the girl began to get involved in rap. Together with school friends, she formed the Cornrow Clique group, which she was a member of before entering college. During this period, she received the nickname Lizzo - a variant of Lissa, inspired by Izzo Jay-Z.

Lizzo studied classical music with an emphasis on flute at the University of Houston but dropped out before graduating. In 2009, a tragic event happened in the girl's family - her father, Michael Jefferson, who was 55 years old, died. The singer considers this day the worst in her biography.

To break into the music industry, Lizzo lived alone in a strange city. She later moved to Minneapolis where she founded the girl group The Chalice. The girls released a joint album We Are the Chalice, which was successful only among the local residents of the city. Melissa managed to attract the attention of producer Ryan Olson and record the solo LP Lizzobangers. The release was warmly received by fans in the US and UK.

To cement her success, the rapper embarked on a tour with Har Mar Superstar. Soon after returning, she began working on her second album. When writing songs, I was guided by my own experience and experiences. Lizzo created the composition My Skin after stripping for the StyleLikeU project and talking about her attitude to the body. The girl noted that a person can change everything in himself, except for the skin.

Big Grrrl Small World was released in 2015. It was ranked 17th on Spin's Top 50 Best Hip Hop Albums of the Year. The performer was not going to stop there and released a mini-collection of Coconut Oil. The single Good As Hell was used as the soundtrack for the movie "Hairdresser-3". In support of the release, the girl held a concert tour. She later joined Haim and then Florence and the Machine.

At the end of 2018, Lizzo released the single Boys, which was to be part of the new album. This was followed by the composition Juice, accompanied by the release of the video. It is shot in the style of 80s commercials. Critics noted that the video turned out to be as fun as the track.

The third single, Tempo, was recorded in collaboration with Missy Elliott. A month after its release, the discography of the star was replenished with the album Cuz I Love You, which became available in April 2019. It peaked at # 5 on the Billboard 200 chart.

The celebrity does not like to talk about his personal life, preferring to pay attention to creativity. She supports the LGBT community and calls her fans Lizzbians.

The singer belongs to the supporters of body positive. Her team, Big Grrrls, is made up of voluptuous dancers. So the girl tries to emphasize the variety of female beauty.

In 2019, the girl played Liz in the crime comedy Strippers with Jennifer Lopez and Lili Reinhart in the lead roles.
