Demetria Devonne Lovato was born on August 20, 1992 in Albuquerque, New Mexico[6] to engineer and musician[7] Patrick Martin Lovato (1960 — June 22, 2013)[8] and former Dallas Cowboys cheerleader [9] Dianna Lee Hart (born Dianna Lee Smith; August 8, 1962).[10] Lovato has an older sister, Dallas (born February 4, 1988);[11] a younger maternal half-sister, actress Madison De La Garza,[12] and an older paternal half-sister, Amber,[13] to whom she first spoke when she was 20.[14]

Warm Up Tour before the release of her debut album[38] and appeared on the Jonas Brothers' Burnin' Up Tour.[39]

Artistry

Influences

Lovato has listed Christina Aguilera and Kelly Clarkson as her biggest influences. Her other influences include Aretha Franklin, Gladys Knight, Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, Billie Holiday, and Billy Gilman.[169] About Gilman she said, "We had the same voice range when I was young. I would practice to his songs all the time."[170] Lovato listened to metal music in her teens,[171] and has said that John Mayer's songwriting has been a "huge influence" on her. She has said that after the release of Unbroken, her musical styles shifted towards hip hop and R&B.[169] 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."[172] 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."[173] Lovato's Neon Lights Tour was "inspired by Beyoncé."[174]

Voice

Lovato is a full lyric soprano. She has a vocal range of four octaves and a semitone, including the whistle register.[175] 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."[176] Becky Brain of Idolator wrote that Lovato has a "killer voice and the A-list material to put it to good use."[177] 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."[178] 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."[179]

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."[180] Tamsyn Wilce from Alter The Press commented on her vocals on Demi, stating "it shows just how strong her vocal chords are and the variation of styles that she can completely work to make her own."[181] 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."[182] 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."[183]

Personal life

On her eighteenth birthday, Lovato bought a Mediterranean-style house in Los Angeles; however, she decided to live in a "sober house" in Los Angeles after leaving rehab in January 2011.[184] Lovato has been in a relationship with Wilmer Valderrama since 2010.[185]

Lovato had no interest in forging a relationship with her late father, Patrick, after his divorce from her mother.[186] Patrick died of cancer on June 22, 2013, at age 53.[8][187] After his death, Lovato said that he had been mentally ill, and in his honor she created the Lovato Treatment Scholarship Program.[165]

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.[188][189] On October 30, 2010, Lovato withdrew from the Jonas Brothers Live in Concert tour, entering a treatment facility for "physical and emotional issues".[190] It was reported that she decided to enter treatment after punching female dancer Alex Welch; her management and family conducted a formal intervention after this incident to convince her she needed help. Lovato said she took "100 percent, full responsibility" for the incident.[188] 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".[191] She added that she "basically had a nervous breakdown" and was diagnosed with bipolar disorder during her treatment.[192] Lovato later said that she had used cocaine several times a day and smuggled cocaine onto airplanes.[193]

In April 2011, Lovato became a contributing editor for Seventeen magazine, writing an article that described her struggles.[162] In March 2012, MTV aired a documentary (Demi Lovato: Stay Strong) about Lovato's rehab and recovery.[194] She began work on her fourth album the following month.[195] 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.[196]

Beliefs

Lovato is a Christian and she prays with her band before they perform.[12] 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."[197] 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."[198] 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".[199]

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.[200] Lovato identifies as a feminist.[201]
