Pop-rapper and reality television star Hazel-E was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, but being part of a military family meant she was raised all over the States, eventually landing in Los Angeles. As often as the places changed, so did her taste in music, as artists like TLC, Prince, and Madonna flowed through the headphones. A move to Hollywood influenced her to try acting, then in 2008 she launched her music career. A year later she released her Shoe Fetish mixtape hosted by Idris Elba and DJ Shogun, while 2010 saw her release the hit single "Valley Girl." The Diary of a Valley Girl mixtape followed in 2011, then the Girlcode album followed in 2012. In 2014 she joined the cast of Love & Hip-Hop: Hollywood and became known as the ex-girlfriend of Yung Berg, ex-girlfriend of Katt Williams, and ex-girlfriend of Ray J. A year later she joined the KT Music Group and released the aptly titled single "Na U Kno." ~ David Jeffries
