Iggy Azalea real name Amethyst Amelia Kelly is an Australian rapper, songwriter and singer born on 7th June 1990 in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. She moved to United States at the age of 16 to pursue a career in hip hop music.

Iggy Azalea began rapping at the age of 14 and she even formed a group with two other girls from her neighborhood but she later disbanded the group as the other girls were not taking it seriously. At the age of 16 she moved to America, after she had dropped out of school and had been doing hotel rooms and holiday houses cleaning with her mother and had saved some money. After her arrival in the US, she received her GED, and resided in the country on a visa waiver for six years, returning to Australia every three months to renew it. Azalea worked in the US illegally until February 2013 when she was granted a five-year O visa.
