Alyssa Lourdiz Cantu (born April 18, 2001), known professionally as Lourdiz, is an American singer and songwriter.
Alyssa Lourdiz Cantu was born raised in San Antonio. She cites the city's Tejano culture as a heavy influence on her music. [1]
While still a teenager, Lourdiz wrote songs for artists including Swae Lee, Anitta, and G-Eazy. She signed with Dr. Luke's publishing company Prescription Songs in 2018. [2]
Lourdiz launched her career as a performer with the release of her debut single, "I'm Pissed", in 2020.[ citation needed ] In 2021, she was selected for the inaugural class of the "First on SoundCloud" artist incubator program. [3]
Lourdiz first courted public controversy in 2023 when social media users observed similarities between the promotional art for her single "All My Bitches" and the cover for Kesha's 2023 release Gag Order , an album heavily inspired by Kesha's years-long legal battle concerning allegations of abuse against Dr. Luke. Given Lourdiz's affiliation with Prescription Songs, Dr. Luke's publishing company, her single art was interpreted by some internet users as a mockery of Kesha. Lourdiz has denied these allegations and has proven that her cover photo was taken in August 2022, 8 months prior to Kesha announcing her album. [4]
Lourdiz lives in Los Angeles. [1]
