There have been a string of artists throughout the years who were never afraid to do their own thing, including everything from Madonna to Lady Gaga. Lizzo is one of the latest and most influential entries into that list. She adds a touch of class to her R&B performances by adding in her beloved instrument, Sasha Flute, named after music icon Beyonce’s popular album and alter ego.
Lizzo was initially worried that her choice of instrument would make her seem geeky or odd, but the fans embraced it. Sasha Flute now has a popular account, and Lizzo also used social media to start the viral #FluteandShootChallenge.
Lizzo came from a musical family who supported her love for all types of tunes since she was a young girl in Texas. She eventually joined the school marching band. She dreamed of traveling to Paris to become a professional flautist but ended up on an even more inspiring path.
The darkest period in Lizzo’s life came after her father’s death and her decision to drop out of college. She was homeless for a short time and experienced only modest success with every band she joined.
Eventually, Lizzo received two offers at once from major producers in Minneapolis. She produced several popular tracks over the next few years, including “Good as Hell” and “Truth Hurts.” Her music earned her 8 Grammy nominations at the 2020 ceremony.
Lizzo uses her music as a way to talk about personal experiences in her life, from breakups to life as a big black woman. She also intends to spread a positive message to her fans, helping them to accept themselves and others just the way they are. She weaves body-positive, feminist, pro-black, and general self-acceptance messages into nearly everything she does.
