The Life of Iggy Azalea longer version

Iggy Azalea was born Amethyst Amelia Kelly in Sydney, Australia. Her family relocated to Mullumbimby, New South Wales, Australia when she was still an infant. The family lived in a house that her father built by hand from mud bricks, surrounded by 5 hectares (12 acres) of land.[5][6][7] Her father, Brendan Kelly, was a painter and comic artist, while her mother, Tanya, cleaned holiday houses and hotels.[8][9] Azalea has said that she has some Aboriginal (Indigenous Australian) ancestry: "My family came to Australia on the First Fleet. My family's been in that country for a long time, over 100 years. If your family's lived in Australia for a long time, everyone has a little bit of [Aborigine blood]. I know my family does because we have an eye condition that only Aboriginal people have." Her surname Kelly is of Irish origin.[10][better source needed][11] Azalea has said that her father "made her look at [art] as a teenager", which has always influenced her life and work.[7] Azalea began rapping at age 14.[6] Before embarking on a solo career, Azalea formed a group with two other girls from her neighbourhood: "I was like, I could be the rapper. This could be like TLC. I'll be Left Eye."[12] Azalea eventually decided to disband the group because the other girls weren't taking it seriously: "I take everything I do serious [sic]. I'm too competitive."[12]
In pursuit of her desire to move to America, Azalea dropped out of high school. She worked and saved the money she earned by cleaning hotel rooms and holiday houses with her mother. She claims to have hated school, which, apart from art class, only made her miserable.
