Lisa Lopes was born as a daughter of Ronald Lopes Sr., a US Army staff sergeant, and Wanda, a seamstress. She grew up with her brother Ronald and younger sister Reigndrop, and the three of them sang gospel songs, performing as The Lopes Kids at local events and churches. Lisa went to Philadelphia High School for Girls, and after matriculation, she moved to Atlanta, Georgia, to audition for a new girl group.

In the beginning, the group’s name was 2nd Nature, but it was quickly renamed to TLC, which stands for initials of Tionne, Lisa, and Crystal. In 1992, TLC released their debut album entitled “Ooooooohhh… On the TLC Tip”, which achieved multi-platinum status with over four million copies sold in the US alone, reaching No. 14 on US Billboard 200, No. 2 on US Heatseekers and No. 3 on US R&B Albums charts. Two years later, the group released its second studio album called “CrazySexyCool”, which was their most successful commercial release, recording more than 11 million sales in the US, and an additional two million worldwide. It peaked at the No. 3 on the US Billboard 200, No. 4 on UK Albums, No. 2 on US Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums, and topped the UK R&B Albums chart. The album consisted of several hit singles, including “Creep”, “Diggin’ on You”, “Red Light Special”, and “If I Was Your Girlfriend”. Among numerous awards, the release earned two Grammy Awards for Best R&B Album and for Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal.

In 1999, TLC recorded their third studio album entitled “FanMail”, which achieved 6x platinum status, and made over 10 million sales worldwide, which only increased Lisa’s net worth. It topped the US Billboard 200, US Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums, and UK R&B Albums, while it reached the No. 2 on the UK Albums chart. The singles “No Scrubs”, “Unpretty”, and “I’m Good at Being Bad” were positioned among the top songs on numerous charts. The release won a Grammy Award for Best R&B Album, while the song “No Scrubs” won awards for Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal and Best R&B Song.

The TLC’s fourth and final album “3D” came out in 2002, seven months after Lopes’ death, and it achieved platinum status too, and also had reasonable success in top charts such as Billboard and UK Albums.

Lisa Lopes recorded one solo album entitled “Supernova” (2001), but she took almost four years to get it done, while in 2009, her posthumous release “Eye Legacy” saw daylight, featuring notable fellow artists such as Missy Elliott, Chamillionaire, and Bone Crusher, among others.

Regarding her personal life, Lisa Lopes was involved in an incident when she set her then-boyfriend’ Andre Rison’s house on fire – allegedly after suffering physical abuse – and was sentenced to five years on probation. She had several tattoos, but the most obvious was the number 80 around the eagle, in honour of Rison who played for the Atlanta Falcons at the time. Lisa died on the 25th April 2002 in Honduras in a car accident, the only person fatally injured in the crash.
