LADY GAGA
Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta (born in Yonkers, March 28, 1986), aka Lady Gaga, is an American singer-songwriter. She was born into an Italian American family and grew up in Manhattan. At seventeen she began studying music at the renowned Tisch School of the Arts at New York University and in the meantime to support herself she worked as a stripper and waitress in some clubs on the Lower East Side of Manhattan.
In 2007 she was signed to the record label Interscope Records, for which she began working as a songwriter, also working with artists such as Fergie and Britney Spears. Her vocal talent pushes the president of Interscope to offer her a contract as a singer.
So Lady Gaga begins to perform with her dancer friend and DJ Lady Starlight and with the singer Akon. On April 8, 2008 she debuted with the single “Just Dance” which reached number 2 in the charts in the States. Shortly after, her first album The Fame was released. The album brings together different genres: from electronic dance to melodic pop, passing through glam rock.
The second single from The Fame is “Poker Face” which reaches number 1 in the charts of 20 countries. It is now clear that Lady Gaga is a global phenomenon on the rise and yet to be discovered. Thanks above all to the live performances where she combines provocative poses with flirty attitudes and extravagant outfits, the Italian-American singer is one of the most clicked on the internet.
The first recognitions also arrived: Just Dance was nominated as "Best Dance Production" at the 51st Grammy Awards, Rolling Stone magazine dedicated its May 2009 cover to it and in June of the same year it performed at the "MuchMusic Video Awards 2009" winning the “Best International Artist Video” award with his video Poker Face.
