Beth Ditto is known for her remarkable voice, her talent and her forthright rejection of what a pop singer should look like. As a 5 foot, 15 stone gay singer, Beth was never going to be ignored but her talent plus her exuberant opinions have made her a heroine for the alternative music scene.
Beth grew up in the Bible-belt town of Judsonia, Arkansas as the middle child of seven. Beth realised she wasn't cut out for a life of 'teenage pregnancy or crystal meth addiction', and after years of being bullied for being fat and loud, she managed to get away to Olympia, Washington State, where she immediately found like-minded people. It was this move that opened her eyes to another way of living - one where you were not judged for how you looked, but who you were, and where your talents were encouraged. This is the full story of Beth's journey to success and fulfilment.
