Who is Up-and-Coming Singer-Songwriter Lizzy McAlpine?
Give Me A Minute to break down who she is.
At just 22 years old, Lizzy McAlpine is already making strides in the music industry. With over 337,000 Instagram followers, 434,000 TikTok followers, and over 3.4 million monthly Spotify listeners, the musician has already begun releasing her own albums and collaborating with well-known names in the music industry.
The Philadelphia native began writing music at the age of 12. Wanting to pursue music in college, the singer attended Berklee College of Music for two years, before deciding to drop out.
Her debut studio album, Give Me a Minute was released on in August of 2020, which she described on her Instagram as "simultaneously the worst AND best year of my life. but pain creates beauty, and this album was born out of that pain." While she got to pursue her passion—music— she shared with her fans that she sadly lost her father in March of that year.
McAlpine has also been featured on various popular talk shows. At the end of 2021, she performed one of her hits, "Erase Me" on Jimmy Kimmel Live!. At the beginning of 2022, and before The Ellen DeGeneres Show ended later that year, McAlpine debuted her song "All My Ghosts," which would be on her second album's tracklist.
Luckily, fans only had to wait a few months for her to release her second album Five Seconds Flat. Notable among the guest artists was Grammy-award-winner Finneas O’Connell on the track "hate to be lame." And later that same month, Finneas invited McAlpine to perform on stage with her at Coachella.
Other famous fans? According to an interview in Spin, McAlpine said musician Phoebe Bridgers is also a fan. "She slid into my DMs like a month after the first record came out and was like ‘I love the record, I’m a big fan.’ And I was like what is happening? It was really wild."
And recently, McAlpine got to work with John Mayer (yes, the famous singer), as they were both featured on Jacob Collier's track "Never Gonna Be Alone."
Aside from all of her success, she's also highly relatable. She loves to jump on TikTok trends, and film fun videos, like "Which Mean Girls voice fits me?," show off her daily outfits, make video photo dumps, and more.
