If you haven’t seen her face or heard her name, make sure to start following her journey now. Robyn Johnson, aka Lil Bit Saucy, according to her official website, hails from the Chicago area and is unquestionably one to watch as “she delivers quality bars and flows jam packed with clever quotables that are caption worthy by kids and adults alike,” truly embracing her superpower as a prolific lyricist.

There were over 100 applications that were submitted to The LEGO Group and the Kids Creative Studio team. As a part of being selected as the first ever LEGO Kid Creative Director, this talented rising star will also receive $10,000 to go towards her future educational and creative endeavors.
