BIOGRAPHY

Joanne Stefani Germanotta" (born March 20, 1986), best known by her stage name "Lady GaGa", is an American singer-songwriter and musician.

Biography

She attended Convent of the Sacred Heart School, an exclusive private all-girls school; also attended by Nicky and Paris Hilton. As a little girl, she remembers singing into a plastic tape recorder to the likes of Cyndi Lauper and Michael Jackson. By age four, Lady GaGa had taught herself to play the piano by ear. When she was a teenager she penned her first song. When she was just fourteen she was playing open mic nights at New York's Bitter End, and by the age of seventeen she was one of twenty people in the world to gain early admission to the Clive Davis program at the Tisch School of the Arts at NYU. She was a fixture in the productions of the Regis High School Repertory, including the roles of Philia in "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum", Anna Andreyevna in "The Government Inspector", Lola in "Damn Yankees", Miss Adelaide in "Guys and Dolls", and Alice More in "A Man for All Seasons". She also sang in the productions of the Regis Jazz Band. Discovering the Fame

Germanotta started hanging out downtown, performing in the Lower East Side club scene. Finding herself surrounded by singers who all wrote the same style of music, she decided to do something fresh and provocative in the rock'n roll underground: pop music. In 2006, she started working with music producer Rob Fusari, with whom she wrote several of her early downtown hits like 'Beautiful Dirty Rich', 'Dirty Ice Cream' and 'Disco Heaven'. It was when she wrote the song 'Again, Again' with Fusari that she created the stage name, "Lady GaGa" (which is a reference to the song 'Radio Ga-Ga' by Queen). He said she was 'so theatrical and dramatic, so Freddie Mercury, so Radio Gaga' while she sang the song on piano, and he then started calling her GaGa around the studio as a nickname to which Stefani later added 'Lady', to feminize it.

Lady GaGa was originally signed to Def Jam when she was nineteen years old but was dropped after three months. In early 2007, she was offered a deal with Interscope, hired as a songwriter and partnered with singer/producer/songwriter Akon. While working on demo tracks for an artist signed to Konvict Muzik, Tami Chynn, Akon would have GaGa go into the booth to lay down reference vocals. Realizing her immense singing talent and after listening to her demo recordings, Akon later signed her to a joint deal with Kon Live.

During this time, Lady GaGa worked with Lower East Side DJ/go-go dancer/performance artist Lady Starlight, who helped Lady GaGa create her on stage fashions. The pair collaborated on many projects such as 'Lady GaGa and the Starlight Revue'- a low-fi tribute to 1970's variety acts which featured Lady GaGa on synth, Lady Starlight spinning beats, choreographed go-go moves, shiny disco balls, and hairspray, lit on fire and sprayed into the audience.

" [[The Fame (album)|The Fame]]" (2008)

It was through her affiliation with Akon, that Lady GaGa started to work on her own new material for her debut album with producer RedOne. Already having a solid selection of electro-glam, David Bowie-esque, Queen inspired songs, GaGa wanted to mix her retro dance beats with urban melodies, a pop chorus and still retain a rock'n roll edge. The first song they produced was 'Boys, Boys, Boys', a track inspired by Mötley Crüe's hit 'Girls, Girls, Girls' mashed with AC/DC's 'T.N.T'.

In August 2007, Lady GaGa and the Starlight Revue performed at Lollapalooza, where they entertained the crowd with their performance art piece. While walking around the concert grounds, Lady GaGa received an indecent exposure citation from a bicycle cop for wearing 'hot pants'.

In October 2007, the duo combined their love of performance art, burlesque pop, rock'n roll, sequined panties, 70's glam and 80's metal into a weekly party , 'New York Street Revival and Trash Dance'. It was here that Lady GaGa would debut not only her new bleach blonde hair but also test drive her revamped stage concept- performing choreographed dance routines accompanied by two female backup dancers while DJ Lady Starlight played the backing tracks.

"The Fame", was released in August in Canada, Australia and other European countries, peaking at number 5 in Canada and 7 in Australia. On October 28, 2008, Lady Gaga released "The Fame" in the U.S. The album reached #17 on the Billboard Top 200 Albums. Its first week sales were 24,000 units. The next week the album fell to #52. It also debuted at number one on the Top Electronic Albums chart. Following Just Dance, the album spawned the promo single 'Beautiful, Dirty, Rich'. Her music video for her second single Poker Face was released on October 22, 2008, quickly becoming a top ten hit in Canada, a top three hit in Sweden and a #1 hit in both New Zealand and Australia which is her second #1 single to date in Australia. The song has so far peaked at #25 on Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles (#125 on Billboard Hot 100).

Success

In the fall of 2008 Haus of GaGa turned their focus upon the USA market, with Lady Gaga going on tour with fellow Interscope group, the reformed New Kids on the Block. Collaborating with New Kids on the Block, Lady GaGa is a featured guest on the song 'Big Girl Now' off their new album, "The Block". To coincide with her newest releases, ABC have commissioned a video promo uniting GaGa's second single 'Beautiful Dirty Rich' with their similarly titled hit show "Dirty Sexy Money". Lady GaGa is currently on tour with New Kids on the Block as their opening act.

Critical reception

Lady GaGa has received mostly positive reviews from professional music critics. The "New York Post" called her the 'future of pop' and Billboard magazine praised her debut album "The Fame" as an album full of hits. "Us Weekly" called her 'Pop's New Dance Diva' and compared her to Madonna. However, ArtistDirect.com said that, musically, she has 'never taken a single footstep off the path already trod'.
