An Inspired Chat with Lezzy Osbourne

We’re looking forward to introducing you to Lezzy Osbourne. Check out our conversation below.

Lezzy, really appreciate you sharing your stories and insights with us. The world would have so much more understanding and empathy if we all were a bit more open about our stories and how they have helped shaped our journey and worldview. Let’s jump in with a fun one: What are you being called to do now, that you may have been afraid of before?
Baring my soul by officially releasing my own music to the world as a solo artist. Playing in bands and co-writing songs is already a vulnerable experience, but doing it entirely on my own takes it to another level that’s even more raw and intimate.

I released my debut acoustic single with an official music video in February 2025, which was a significant milestone. I finished writing and recording my second single with spooky vibes, which dropped on Halloween (October 31, 2025), followed by a sexy and thrilling music video a week later. This one was more of a theatrical production that I’m very excited to share!

What once terrified me—putting myself and my music out there—has become an incredible journey. The overwhelmingly heartwarming response so far has shown me just how rewarding it can be to embrace our fears when they’re fueled by passion!

Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
My stage name of Lezzy Osbourne is a cheeky nod to my sexuality while proudly representing queer women in music. I’m primarily a bassist, laying down heavy grooves with my bands Boneyard and Sugarwash, along with other collaborative projects. My solo acoustic act reveals a more vulnerable side, blending emotion with a dark, enchanting edge.

By day, I’m immersed in Web Development & Design, but music is what truly lights my soul on fire!

Appreciate your sharing that. Let’s talk about your life, growing up and some of topics and learnings around that. What was your earliest memory of feeling powerful?
I was a little kid at a Halloween party that all the girls in my class were invited to, and I went as a ninja. The parents hosting the party had gone all out, turning their basement into a haunted house. I was deeply enthralled, but my classmates responded quite differently! You could hear the screams from upstairs as one after another bolted for the exit.

When it was my turn to ascend into the basement of terrors with another classmate, I fearlessly led the way. Suddenly, a mummy jumped out of a coffin and came straight for us! Naturally, I drew my swords and started whacking at him to keep us safe. The parents couldn’t stop laughing when they told my folks later – turns out I was the only kid who decided to fight the haunted house instead of run from it!

What have been the defining wounds of your life—and how have you healed them?
Repeated bullying in my teenage years made me feel worthless and unseen for who I truly was. It caused confusion, depression, and isolation, because I couldn’t understand why I was a target for such mistreatment. That pattern carried into my adult relationships, where I rarely felt genuinely appreciated or loved — even though I gave everything I had and always tried to see the good in others. Understanding that people often act from their own wounds and traumas made me tolerate far more than I should have, and the price only grew heavier with time.

Eventually, experiencing enough of those painful cycles helped me see things with clarity. The red flags are much easier to spot now, because pain has taught me what to look for — even when emotions try to cloud my judgment. I’m learning to say “no” with confidence and to make sure my “yes” really means yes. Self-sacrificial people-pleasing causes far more damage than the conflict we think we’re avoiding. By setting firm boundaries and recognizing when I’m slipping into self-sacrifice, I’ve watched people walk away once they could no longer take advantage of me. It’s not easy watching them project their issues back in my direction, but it sure reveals their true character!

I’ve never felt such clarity before, and it’s a beautiful thing. Trauma really does serve a purpose — it helps us evolve into our highest potential.

Aside from the inner work I’ve been doing, my growing fanbase in music has drastically helped me heal those rejection wounds on another level. Going from a loner outcast to a rising star has been quite the turn of events, to say the least!

Alright, so if you are open to it, let’s explore some philosophical questions that touch on your values and worldview. What are the biggest lies your industry tells itself?
That musicians are “fairly compensated” for their work. Recording even one song costs far more than people realize, between gear, studio time, mixing and mastering, distribution fees, video production, and marketing. Streaming platforms love to highlight the millions paid out in royalties, but those numbers are spread across millions of artists — meaning most independent musicians only see a few dollars, even after months or years.

But, at the end of the day, that’s not why we do it. We create because we love it — because music is who we are, and sharing it and seeing people get something out of our creations makes all the struggles worthwhile.

Okay, so let’s keep going with one more question that means a lot to us: When do you feel most at peace?
In complete solitude, out in nature – especially at sunset when the sky is spectacular. Then, once the sun is completely down, the stillness of the night awakens something in me that has me dreaming into the stars while drawing serenity and strength from the divine femininity of the moon.
