Who is Lizzo?
For those that have somehow never heard of Lizzo, real name Melissa Viviane Jefferson, she is a Grammy and Emmy-winning musician. Although she’s been around the music industry dating back to roughly 2011, she scored her first Billboard hit in 2019 with the song "Truth Hurts." Since then, she’s put out several other hit songs including "Juice," "Tempo" and the recent hit, "About Damn Time."
Earlier this year, she received an Emmy for her first stint in hosting a reality show with her series Lizzo's Watch Out for the Big Grrrls. The show followed her as she searched for backup dancers to join her on her tour.
Love, Lizzo director
Love, Lizzo was directed by Doug Pray. This is not Pray’s first venture into the documentary space covering those famous in the music industry. He previously earned a Grammy as an executive producer for The Defiant Ones, a film that focuses on the partnership between music exec Jimmy Iovine and rapper Dr. Dre.
