Raised in a family that appreciated and encouraged the listening to different types of music, Lionezz was touched a hardcore hip-hop influence early. First, she was touched by dance and she started a Hip-Hop dance group and single-handedly choreographing every performance.
Dance wasn't the only facet of the Hip-Hop culture that fascinated Lionezz. Spinning greatly influenced her style. Her father had has been a DJ since Lionezz was born. She was surrounded by the mixture of music constantly. Especially in her father's roller-skating club in Munich, Germany. He even hosted the first break-dancing contests in Germany back in '83.
As a teenager she moved to the U.S. where she was slowly being taught about the different parts of Hip-Hop by artists like Grandmaster Caz and Keith Murray.
Later she returned to Germany to persue the musical side of Hip-Hop by being featured on several compilations CD’s and collaboration tracks with artists like Raptile. Lionezz was also a part of support act for Outkast, Busta Rhymes, Beanie Seagle, Memphis Bleek, Masta Ace, Pharcyde and Biz Markie to name a few. She was even featured on the Rascalz single "Top of the World" with Barrington Levy as well as appearing in the music video. After the video Lionezz toured with Rascalz and Raptile as a support act for Necro.
For Lionezz it was beginning a new stage in her life touring with Raptile (a successful european artist) and representin.. his Crew "Monstablokaz".Now, Lionezz is living in Florida and she made it under the best 10 female Rapper’s appearing in the VH1 TV Show “Miss Rap Supremeâ€!
