Demi Lovato (born August 20, 1992, in Albuquerque, New Mexico) first rose to fame as a Disney Channel star through roles in Camp Rock and Sonny with a Chance. Her music career took off with the debut album Don't Forget (2008) and the number-one Here We Go Again (2009), followed by major hits like "Skyscraper" and "Sorry Not Sorry". With over 30 million records sold, she has released nine studio albums, including the rock-influenced Holy Fvck (2022) and It's Not That Deep (2025), and was named to the Time 100 list in 2017. Beyond music, she has judged The X Factor, starred in films like Eurovision Song Contest, and co-directed the documentary Child Star (2024).

Her early life, marked by a strained relationship with her father, has deeply influenced her advocacy and public narrative.
