The self proclaimed ‘biggest Midget in the game’ has gone from creating a bit of a stir in her English homeland to becoming the most visible and controversial representative of the UK Grime scene, as she now has attained a level of global commercial success that has eluded her peers. Lady Sovereign is predominantly recognizable for her “cheeky” delivery and lyrical style, causing each of her singles to capture significant attention. Sov’s first full length album, entitled “Public Warning,” was released October 31, 2006, and at long last, established her as a chart force to be reckoned with in the USA, something any other UK rapper has yet to achieve.

Early life
Born Louise Amanda Harman in Wembley, Lady Sovereign was raised on the Chalkhill estate. When she was 13, after having a liking for popular 90s artist, Ms. Dynamite, she started practicing rapping in the mirror with a hair brush. She was expelled from school when she was only 16, because she “bunked” school. At the age of 17 she became one of the UK’s few white female MCs. She has been cited often as part of the rising British grime scene, and has received outside appreciation from moviegoers for her relation to Rupert Grint. Lady Sovereign cites Ms. Dynamite as an influence.

Lady Sovereign now resides in North London, England.

Career
Lady Sovereign first received attention when she recorded “The Battle”, a freestyle girls versus boys battle rap with Shystie, Suz Rock and Frost P. Each rapper who participated in the recording of “The Battle” has since been signed to a record deal.
