Betta Lemme (Betta Lemm)
Betta Lemme is a great example of such a thing as a "sudden star." It arose literally from the air, charmed everyone with its accent and disappeared indefinitely. But her voice still echoes in the ears of fans who have ever heard her singing. On the page we will look at the whole way of the girl, from the very birth to the release of the clip, which gathered more than 13 million views on YouTube.
short biography
The life of a girl is no less mysterious than her popularity. In an interview, she tries to skip questions related to her childhood or past, and does not very willingly talk about the "prestar" period. It is known that Betta Lemme was born April 30, 1993 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Her parents moved to Canada from Italy in the 90s, but it is unknown what caused the emigration.
Even in early childhood, Betta Lemme had to learn as many as 3 languages: English, in which her favorite singers sang, French, official in Montreal, and Italian, the native language of her parents. Therefore, she spent all her free time at home or in the library. In one interview, she confessed - "I knew 3 languages, but I couldn’t talk to anyone ... for them [classmates] I was a stranger, even when we played and studied together." Salvation for her were the songs of Sting, Britney Spears and Madonna. In them, Betta found what she so lacked - friendship, feelings, emotional ups and downs.
As a teenager, Betta decides to become a model, for which she spends a lot of time in self-improvement — dieting, playing sports, standing tests and castings. This gives the result, and in 17 years she signs a contract with the agency Montage Models. The first year she received a very small salary, which is quite normal for a beginner in the modeling business. However, at the age of 20, Lemme was constantly invited to the shows, removed for the covers of glossy magazines and made photo shoots.
But in all the external charms of working as a model there are very great difficulties and disadvantages. Betta told why she refused this job, having good prospects:
- Photo sessions require very high returns. Sometimes I had to change more than a hundred bows per day. Also, your opinion is completely ignored. If you need to be photographed in a light dress of -20 degrees, then you can not refuse;
- The work of the model, especially the first few years, is 90% of the expectations and 10% of the work. I could spend two or three months without work. Yes, I received a salary, which was enough for life, but this inaction killed me;
- Earnings are highly dependent on fame. At the very beginning of my career, I actually worked “for food”, and in the end - receiving a small percentage of sales and salary from the agency. Yes, I could get much more, but it would take another 5 years, and this is too long.
Before leaving the modeling agency, Betta Lemm thought for a long time what to dedicate her future life to. As the girl later confessed, the decision to sing appeared spontaneously - "I just listened to the radio, where all the hits of that year were played. All the songs were energetic, but with some particular sadness. And I thought, why shouldn't I try it myself"
The next 3 years, Betta spent in the study of all the subtleties and aspects of music. Deciding that you cannot succeed in one voice, she set about mastering musical instruments. Starting with the piano, Betta Lemme learned to play 9 instruments. This is what caused the interest of the popular duet SOFI TUKKER, which subsequently became the beginning of its popularity.
