CONTENTS
Stefani
Joanne Angelina Germanotta was born on March 28, 1986 in Yonkers, New York, to
Cynthia and Joseph Germanotta. Germanotta, now known as Lady Gaga (she has
attributed the inspiration for her name to the Queen song "Radio
Ga-Ga"), went on to become an international pop star.
Gaga learned to play the piano by the age of 4. At the age of 11, she was accepted to the Juilliard School in Manhattan, but instead attended a private Catholic school in the city. She continued studying music and performing, writing her first piano ballad at the age of 13, and she held her first performance in a New York nightclub at the age of 14.

She continued studying music and performing, writing her first piano ballad at the age of 13, and she held her first performance in a New York nightclub at the age of 14.
A few years later, Gaga was granted early
admission to New York University's Tisch School of the Arts—she was one of only
20 students in the world to receive the honor of early acceptance. While there,
she studied music and worked on her songwriting skills. She later withdrew from
school to find creative inspiration. To make ends meet, she took three jobs,
including a stint as a gogo dancer, while she honed her performance-art act.
In
2005, Lady Gaga was briefly signed by Def Jam Records, but was dropped just
months later. Being dropped by the label propelled the singer to perform on her
own in clubs and venues on New York City's Lower East Side. There, she
collaborated with several rock bands, and began her experimentation with fashion.
In 2007, at the age of 20, Gaga began work at Interscope Records as a songwriter for other artists on the label, including Britney Spears, New Kids on the Block, and The Pussycat Dolls. R&B singer Akon discovered Gaga while she was performing a burlesque show that she created, called "Lady Gaga and the Starlight Revue." Impressed, Akon signed the performer to his label under the Interscope umbrella, Kon Live. Through 2007 and 2008, Gaga wrote and recorded her debut album, The Fame. The record was received positive reviews and popular success in the United States. With the help of her own creative team, "Haus of Gaga," the performer also began to make a name for herself internationally.

Lady Gaga's debut single, "Just
Dance," was released to radio in early 2008, and received both popular and
commercial acclaim. The song was then nominated for a Grammy Award (for best
dance recording) in 2008. The song lost to Daft Punk's "Harder, Better,
Faster, Stronger," but this didn't keep Gaga from reaching No. 1 on the
mainstream pop charts in January 2009. The second single off of The
Fame, "Poker Face," earned Gaga even more success.
The song topped singles charts in almost every category, and in almost
every country. Both songs were produced by Akon's affiliate RedOne, who
co-wrote most of Lady Gaga's album.
Later
in 2008, Lady Gaga opened for the newly reformed New Kids on the Block. She also collaborated with the group on
the song "Big Girl Now" from New Kids on the Block's album The Block. The following year,
Gaga
released an album of eight songs, The Fame Monster,
followed by 2011's Born This Way.
