Lizzo On Feminism, Self-Love And Bringing ‘Hallelujah Moments’ To Stage
Lizzo was in fifth grade when it came time to choose instruments for band. The choice was made for her when the music teacher paired her with the flute.
It turned out to be a good match: The singer and rapper fell in love with the instrument and went on to pursue a degree in music performance and music theory with the hopes of becoming a professional flutist. “I saw a life of concert black and Boston Pops and traveling the world,” Lizzo says. “When that didn’t pan out for me, I was very depressed.”
found her footing in the Minneapolis music scene, was also a natural at freestyle rapping. She began working with local R&B and soul artists, eventually meeting and collaborating with Prince.
A self-described “showgirl at its finest,” Lizzo began touring even before she had albums. She says the high energy “hallelujah moments” of her shows reflect a childhood listening primarily to gospel music.
But Lizzo’s musical persona isn’t all flash. Her third studio album, Cuz I Love You — her major label debut under Atlantic Records — reveals a deep vulnerability, especially as she sings about self-love and body positivity. It’s a message born from Lizzo’s own long journey toward body acceptance.
“About 10 years ago, I made the decision that I just wanted to be happy with my body and I just wanted to be happy with who I am,” the artist says. “That was the beginning of my journey with learning how to love my body. … You have to find that love for yourself deep down inside, underneath all of that questioning and ickiness.”

“To be a real person among real things. My struggle and my danger lie in the fact that I cannot become real, that there are always things that deny me, events that go straight through me, more real than I am and as if I didn’t exist.”
— Rainer Maria Rilke, from a letter to Lou Salomé witten c. August 1903
