All the basic features of Iggy Azalea are present in this photo from her high school days. The face is the same; the hair is the same; even the pose is basically the same as the one she'll offer to cameras today. All that's missing is the smoldering attitude which tells you that she's not someone who should be messed with in any way, ever. Azalea moved to America from Australia to pursue a career in music when she was very young, and she wasn't going to take no for an answer.
As she had a liking for rap, she initially started a girl group with the idea that they were going to be a modern take on TLC. Unfortunately for the two girls she was working with, Azalea didn't feel that they were committed enough to the band, and so she fired them and went alone. The strategy paid off for her in a big way. That's not a bad result for someone who took the first part of her stage name from the name of her childhood dog.
