Demetria Devonne "Demi" Lovato (/ˈdɛmi loʊˈvɑːtoʊ/ DEM-ee loh-VAH-toh or lə-VAH-toh; born August 20, 1992) is an American singer, songwriter, and actress. After making her debut as a child actress in Barney & Friends, Lovato rose to prominence in 2008 when she started in the Disney Channel television film Camp Rock and signed a recording contract with Hollywood Records. Her debut album, Don't Forget (2008), debuted at number two on the US Billboard 200. In 2009, Lovato received her own television series, Sonny with a Chance. The following album, Here We Go Again, debuted at number one on the U.S. Billboard 200, while its title track became her first single to reach the top 20 of the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at fifteen. Both albums have been certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).

After the release of additional television films and their soundtracks in 2010, Lovato's personal issues put her career on hiatus and ended Sonny with a Chance after its second season. Her third album, Unbroken (2011), addresses several of her difficulties. Its lead single, "Skyscraper", became Lovato's second top 10 entry in the US, while its second single, "Give Your Heart a Break", was certified triple platinum in the country. Lovato was a judge and mentor on the American version of The X Factor in 2012 and 2013. Her third album, Demi (2013), had first-week sales of 110,000 copies (the best debut week of Lovato's recording career) and debuted at number three on the Billboard 200. Its lead single, "Heart Attack", became her third top 10 in the US and her first in the UK. Lovato's fifth album, Confident (2015), debuted at number 2 on the Billboard 200. Its lead single "Cool for the Summer" was eventually certified double platinum by the RIAA.

Musically, Lovato is considered a pop,[2] pop rock,[3][4] and R&B artist.[5][6] Lovato has won a number of awards, including an MTV Video Music Award, 13 Teen Choice Awards, five People's Choice Awards, an ALMA Award, and a Billboard Touring Award. In 2013, Maxim ranked her 26th on its Hot 100 list and Billboard ranked her second on its Social 50 Artists of the Year list. Outside the entertainment industry, Lovato is involved with several social and environmental causes. In May 2013, she was cited for her dedication as a mentor to teens and young adults with mental health challenges at a National Children's Mental Health Awareness Day hosted by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration in Washington, D.C. She has also become an advocate for the LGBT community. In 2014, she was announced as the Grand Marshal for LA Pride week, and that same year she became the face for Human Rights Campaign's Americans for Marriage Equality Campaign.[7] In April 2016, Lovato was honored with the GLAAD Vanguard Award for making a significant difference in promoting equal rights for LGBT people at the 27th GLAAD Media Awards.[8]

Lovato was born on August 20, 1992 in Albuquerque, New Mexico,[9] to engineer and musician Patrick Martin Lovato (1960 — June 22, 2013)[10] and former Dallas Cowboys cheerleader Dianna De La Garza (nee Dianna Lee Smith; born August 8, 1962).[11] Lovato has an older sister, Dallas (born February 4, 1988);[12] a younger maternal half-sister, actress Madison De La Garza;[13] and an older paternal half-sister, Amber,[14] to whom she first spoke when she was 20.[15]

Warm Up Tour before the release of her debut album[37] and appeared on the Jonas Brothers' Burnin' Up Tour.[38]

Lovato's debut album, Don't Forget, was released on September 23, 2008 and was met with generally positive reviews from critics.[39][40][41] Michael Slezak of Entertainment Weekly said, "Demi Lovato might satisfy her 'tween fans but she won't be winning any rockers over with Don't Forget".[42] The album debuted at number two on the Billboard 200, with first-week sales of 89,000 copies.[43] Ten of its songs were co-written with the Jonas Brothers.[44] Don't Forget was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for US sales of over 500,000 copies.[45] Its lead single, "Get Back", was praised for its pop rock style and peaked at number 43 on the US Billboard Hot 100, selling over 560,000 copies in the United States.[46][47][48] The album's second single, "La La Land", was cited for its strong rock elements[49] and peaked at number 52 in the US,[48] and cracked the top 40 in Ireland and the United Kingdom.[50][51] The music video was directed by Brendan Malloy and Tim Wheeler[52] The album's third single, "Don't Forget" debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 at number sixty-eight on October 11, 2008 and fell off the chart the following week.[53]

The entertainer made her first 40-city national concert tour, Live in Concert, in support of Here We Go Again. The tour, from June 21 to August 21, 2009,[66] had David Archuleta,[66] KSM and Jordan Pruitt as opening acts[67] and Lovato and Archuleta received the Choice Music Tour award at the 2009 Teen Choice Awards.[68] In March 2010, Lovato and Joe Jonas recorded "Make a Wave" as the second charity single for Disney's Friends for Change.[69] In May Lovato guest-starred as a teenage schizophrenic in the sixth-season Grey's Anatomy episode, "Shiny Happy People".[70] Although critics praised her versatility, they were underwhelmed by her acting and felt that her appearance was designed primarily to attract viewers.[71] Later that year, she headlined her first international tour, the South American Tour,[72][73] and joined the Jonas Brothers Live in Concert tour as a guest.[74]

Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam, with Lovato reprising her role as Mitchie Torres, premiered on September 3, 2010.[75][76] Critics were ambivalent about the film's plot, and it has a 40-percent approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes.[77] However, Lovato's performance was called "dependably appealing" by Jennifer Armstrong of Entertainment Weekly.[78] The film premiered to eight million viewers, the number-one cable-television movie of the year by the number of viewers.[79] Its accompanying soundtrack was released on August 10 with Lovato singing nine songs, including "Can't Back Down" and "Wouldn't Change a Thing".[80] The soundtrack debuted at number three on the Billboard 200, with first-week sales of 41,000 copies.[81] The Jonas Brothers' 2012 World Tour was reworked to incorporate Lovato and the rest of the film's cast;[82] it began on August 7, two weeks later than planned.[83] The Sonny with a Chance soundtrack was released on October 5; Lovato sang on four tracks, including "Me, Myself and Time".[84] It debuted (and peaked) at number 163 on the Billboard 200, her lowest-selling soundtrack.[85]

Artistry

Influences

Lovato has listed Christina Aguilera and Kelly Clarkson as her biggest influences.[175] Her other influences include Britney Spears,[176] Rihanna, Keri Hilson,[177] Aretha Franklin, Gladys Knight, Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, Billie Holiday, and Billy Gilman.[175] About Gilman she said, "We had the same voice range when I was young. I would practice to his songs all the time."[178] Lovato has said that John Mayer's songwriting has been a "huge influence" on her and that after the release of Unbroken, her musical style shifted towards hip hop and R&B.[175] Lovato says, "I had a lot of respect for Whitney Houston, and Christina Aguilera, on some songs where she was really amazing and wasn't trying to be sexy or anything like that."[179] About her admiration for Clarkson, Lovato says, "I just thought she was a great role model. She was never publicly seen drinking and driving or wearing really scandalous clothes or anything like that. I feel like she set a really great example and she was extremely talented."[180] Lovato's The Neon Lights Tour was "inspired by Beyoncé."[181]

Voice

Lovato is a lyric soprano. She has a vocal range of four octaves, 1 note and a semitone, including the whistle register.[182] Nick Levine of Digital Spy, commenting on her vocals for her album, Don't Forget, stated, "she's certainly a stronger singer than the Jonases. In fact, her full-bodied vocal performances are consistently impressive."[183] Becky Brain of Idolator wrote that Lovato has a "killer voice and the A-list material to put it to good use."[184] According to Sophie Schillaci of the The Hollywood Reporter, the entertainer "has a voice that can silence even the harshest of critics. Something not often found in her peers."[185] For Lovato's second studio album, Here We Go Again, Jeff Miers from The Buffalo News wrote, "Unlike so many of her Disney-fied peers, Lovato can really sing...[and it's] refreshing [she doesn't need Auto-Tune] to mask any lack of natural ability."[186]

Upon working with Lovato on her third studio album, Unbroken, Ryan Tedder stated, "Demi blew me out of the water vocally! I had no idea how good her voice is. She's one of the best singers I've ever worked with. Literally, that good... I mean, she's a Kelly Clarkson-level vocalist. And Kelly has a set of pipes." He also commented on their work together on the song "Neon Lights" from Lovato's fourth studio album, saying, "She, in pop music, has one of the biggest ranges, possibly the highest full voice singer I've ever worked with."[187] Tamsyn Wilce from Alter The Press commented on her vocals on Demi, stating "it shows just how strong her vocal cords are and the variation of styles that she can completely work to make her own."[188] In a review for the 'Neon Lights Tour,' Mike Wass from Idolator commented "you don't need shiny distractions when you can belt out songs like Demi and connect with the crowd on such an emotional level."[189] In a review for the 'Demi World tour,' Marielle Wakim from Los Angeles Magazine commented on Lovato's vocals, stating "For those who haven’t bothered to follow Lovato’s career, let’s get something out of the way: the girl can sing. Get over your fear of being judged by your Facebook friends and Spotify her discography, because you’re going to have the last laugh five years down the road (probably sooner) when she wins a Grammy. At 22 years old, her vocal range is astounding." She went on to further describe her vocals as "spectacular."[190]

Personal life

Residence

On her 18th birthday, Lovato bought a Mediterranean-style house in Los Angeles, California; however, she decided to live in a "sober house" in Los Angeles after leaving rehab in January 2011.[191]

Relationships

From early to May 2010, Lovato dated her Camp Rock co-star and musician Joe Jonas.[192] They remain good friends.[193][194][195] In 2010, Lovato began dating actor Wilmer Valderrama.[196][197] They announced the end of their relationship on social media on June 3, 2016.[198]

Lovato had no interest in forging a relationship with her late father, Patrick, after his divorce from her mother.[199] Patrick died of cancer on June 22, 2013, at age 53.[200] After his death, Lovato said that he had been mentally ill, and in his honor she created the Lovato Treatment Scholarship Program.[168]

Personal struggles

Lovato had suffered from depression, an eating disorder, self-harm, and being bullied before she went into rehab at the age of 18 in November 2010.[201][202] On October 30, 2010, Lovato withdrew from the Jonas Brothers Live in Concert tour, entering a treatment facility for "physical and emotional issues".[203] It was reported that she decided to enter treatment after punching female dancer Alex Welch; her management and family convinced her she needed help. Lovato said she took "100 percent, full responsibility" for the incident.[201] On January 28, 2011, Lovato completed inpatient treatment at Timberline Knolls and returned home. She acknowledged that she had had bulimia, had harmed herself, and had been "self-medicating" with drugs and alcohol "like a lot of teens do to numb their pain".[204] She added that she "basically had a nervous breakdown" and was diagnosed with bipolar disorder during her treatment.[205] Lovato later said that she had used cocaine several times a day and smuggled cocaine onto airplanes.[206]

In April 2011, Lovato became a contributing editor for Seventeen magazine, writing an article that described her struggles.[165] In March 2012, MTV aired a documentary (Demi Lovato: Stay Strong) about Lovato's rehab and recovery.[207] She began work on her fourth album the following month.[208] In January 2013, it was reported that Lovato had been living in a sober-living facility in Los Angeles for more than a year because she felt it was the best way to avoid returning to her addictions and eating disorder.[209]

Beliefs

Lovato is a Christian and she prays with her band before they perform.[13] She is an active supporter of gay rights. When the Defense of Marriage Act was struck down in June 2013, she tweeted: "Gay, straight, lesbian, bi. ... No one is better than any one else. What an incredible day for California AND for equality."[210] Lovato later said: "I believe in gay marriage, I believe in equality. I think there's a lot of hypocrisy with religion. But I just found that you can have your own relationship with God, and I still have a lot of faith."[211] In an early November 2013 interview with Latina magazine, she said that she finds spirituality to be an important part of maintaining balance in life. She said: "I'm the closest I've ever been with God. I have my own relationship with God and that's all that matters".[212]

On December 23, 2011, Lovato posted a message on Twitter criticizing her former network for airing episodes of Shake It Up and So Random! in which characters joked about eating disorders. Disney Channel publicity officials quickly took action, apologizing to Lovato and removing the episodes from the network's broadcast and video on demand sources after additional criticism (following Lovato's post) on the network's public-relations account.[213]

Lovato identifies as a feminist.[214] She spoke at the 2016 Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia about raising awareness for mental health.[215]
