Iggy Azalea, born Amethyst Amelia Kelly on June 7, 1990, in Sydney, Australia, is an internationally recognized rapper, songwriter, and model who carved a unique space for herself in the global hip-hop scene. Raised in the small town of Mullumbimby in New South Wales, Iggy developed an early love for rap music, inspired by artists like Tupac Shakur and Missy Elliott. Determined to pursue her dream, she left Australia at the age of 16 and moved to the United States, eventually settling in Miami before making her way to Atlanta to immerse herself in Southern hip-hop culture.
Iggy gained early attention through her bold and unapologetic music videos on YouTube, particularly for tracks like “Pu$$y” and “Two Times.” Her striking presence and raw lyrical style caught the attention of major figures in the industry, and she soon signed with a record label that paved the way for her debut projects.
Her mainstream breakthrough came in 2014 with the release of her debut album “The New Classic.” The project produced massive hits such as “Fancy” featuring Charli XCX, which became an international anthem and topped the Billboard Hot 100 for seven consecutive weeks. The album also included tracks like “Black Widow” (featuring Rita Ora) and “Work,” further solidifying her reputation as a global hitmaker.
Known for blending Southern trap beats with catchy pop hooks, Iggy Azalea quickly became one of the most recognizable female rappers of the decade. Her style — both visually and musically — challenged conventions in the rap world, earning her fans as well as critics. She has been nominated for multiple Grammy Awards, Billboard Music Awards, and American Music Awards, and she has received accolades for being one of the few female rappers to achieve such mainstream success in a genre traditionally dominated by men.
Beyond music, Iggy has explored fashion, modeling, and entrepreneurship. Her bold image and charismatic stage presence have made her a pop culture figure whose influence extends beyond the charts. She’s been open about the challenges she’s faced, including public scrutiny and industry pressures, but she continues to release music and connect with her loyal fanbase.
Iggy Azalea’s story is one of determination, reinvention, and fearlessness. From a small-town Australian girl with big dreams to an international rap superstar, she remains a symbol of ambition and perseverance in the music industry.
