Almost everyone in the music industry has someone to look up to, Lizzo isn't an exception as she revealed in an interview that a powerhouse trio heavily impacted her music exploration growing up because they inspired her so much to become a full-time musician.
In an interview with Elle Magazine UK, the "About Damn Time" songstress said she grew up in Houston, Texas, and Destiny's Child made a big impact on her life.
The reason why she credits the trio so much is because they were the reason why she decided to become an artist aside from being very close to them.
"Everyone had their, 'I saw Beyoncé when...' or, 'I saw Destiny's Child at this party...' stories. And that made it seem more accessible. Like, 'Oh, maybe I can do this too, if I worked hard enough and had the right people around me,'" she added. (via Billboard)
Growing up, Lizzo finally had the chance to see her favorite girl group perform live.
Recalling the experience, the singer remembered that they had an event at a Walmart where they sign albums.
Lizzo immediately skipped classes to go see them in person.
As per seeing Beyoncè, the 34-year-old star said she had seen Queen Bey over 10 times now and she never bores her because "the excitement never goes away."
Commending Jay-Z's wife for her contribution to the music industry, Lizzo explained that the Grammy Award-winning singer doesn't just release music out of nowhere, but rather, it has to be relevant to become a "teaching moment."
Destiny's Child is composed of Kelly Roland, Michelle Williams, and Beyoncè Knowles. The trio got together in 1990 and had a successful career until they separated ways in 2006.
Since then, all members have transitioned into becoming solo artists.
The latest interview comes a few days after Lizzo released her highly-anticipated album "Special."
Rollingstone reported that the 12-song album features several genre like hip hop, soul, R&B, and pop. The meaning behind the album revolves around the singer's journey to self-acceptance and hope.
The outlet described it as one of the most "emotionally profound" and "sonically diverse" albums released under a big label since Beyonce's "Lemonade" in 2016.
Her latest record is a follow-up to her 2019 record "Cuz I Love You."
