Lisa Nicole Lopez was born on May 27, 1971 (Gemini) in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania where she grew up to become a talented rapper and creative writer. She was always active in school plays, performances and had many talents other than singing such as writing, sewing and dancing as well. When she became noticed as the hyper little rapper "Left-Eye", in 1991, she became the "L" of TLC and Chilli describes her rapping by saying, "she can rap her butt off"! In interviews she'd often be asked how the name "Left-Eye" came about and she simply states "Cuz the eye is right". In the first TLC video "Ain't 2 Proud 2 Beg" she wore a condom over her left-eye, symbolizing safe sex, which made a huge variety of parents react in different ways. "Man, we had all kinds of conflicting fan mails and letters…some just dogging out our music, and on the same token you have parents talking about, 'I love your music, you wear condoms on your clothes, I can now talk about my children, and it's out in the open."
