Demi Lovato, born on August 20, 1992, in Albuquerque, New Mexico, has become one of the most influential artists of their generation. Raised in Dallas, Texas, Lovato demonstrated remarkable musical and acting abilities from a young age.

Their music career gained momentum with their debut album, Don’t Forget (2008), featuring hits like La La Land and Get Back. Subsequent albums, such as Unbroken (2011) and Confident (2015), showcased their evolution as an artist, producing anthems like Skyscraper, Cool for the Summer, and Sorry Not Sorry.
