Tell us a little about your album on iTunes, “Life’s a Musical”.
Life’s a Musical is my first baby! I had done a few mixtapes but this was the first album! I wanted to let people in and let them see who Lela Bizz really is!

What’s your favorite live performance that you have ever done?
I think one of my favorites would be the one that is on my EPK and I had on a black dress and red rose in my hair. The live band was awesome!!!!
Hair Talk
What inspired you to do a big chop?
I love trying new things so I said “whateva cut it!” lol
You rock your chop with confidence, what advice can you give to women who may be considering a big chop, but may be afraid to go for it?
Well now I’m growing it out, butttttt I say you are beautiful ladies with or without hair. India Arie said it best “I am not my hair”.
Tell me about the history of your hair?
I have been natural since 2007 so I have had every twist out, blow out and braid out u can think of. I love my nappy naps!
Do you have a hair care regimen?
Right now I want it to grow, so I have a sew in. I am going to leave that in for about a month and give myself a deep conditioner wash, and extra TLC and then braid it back up again for another month.
What are your favorite products that keep your hair moisturized?
I use Africa’s Best Organics Mayo I looooooove that stuff!!!!
I’ve seen you in a variety of hairstyles, afro puffs, twists, to extensions, what is your favorite way to wear your hair, or do you prefer to constantly change it up?
I LOVE THEM ALL!!!! LOL, I hate keeping the same style for too long so I am constantly switching it up!
What do you think is the best piece of advice that you can give someone who wants healthier hair?
Stay away from the creamy Crack!!!!!!!!!! lol
