Amethyst Amelia Kelly, known by her stage name Iggy Azalea, is an Australian rapper, singer, songwriter, and model. At the age of 16, Azalea moved to the United States from Sydney, Australia, to pursue a career in music. Azalea earned public recognition after releasing the music videos for her songs "Pussy" and "Two Times" on YouTube, both of which gained rapid popularity. Azalea signed a recording contract with American rapper T.I.'s label Grand Hustle shortly afterward and released her debut mixtape, Ignorant Art. Azalea's debut studio album, The New Classic, peaked among the top five on several charts worldwide, but received mixed reviews from within the industry. The album eventually topped the Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums, making Azalea the first non-American female rapper to reach the top of the chart. The New Classic was preceded by Azalea's debut single "Work" and chart-topping single "Fancy", which hit the U.S. Billboard Hot 100.
She became a big celebrity in Australia thanks to viral videos for her songs"Pu$$y" and"Two Times". Her 2014 single"Fancy", which she co-wrote with Charli XCX, became a number one success. At the 2014 American Music Awards, she was awarded Favorite Rap/Hip-Hop Artist.
