Life of Lady Gaga



The life of Lady Gaga was simple before she rose to fame. She was born on March 28, 1986 to Cynthia and Joseph Germanotta. Her birth name was Stefania Gabrielle Germanotta. Today she is popularly known as Lady Gaga, her stage name which she kept after being inspired by the Queen song "Radio Ga Ga". She is a pop singer and songwriter of America and was born in Yonkers, New York.
She was fond of music from her very childhood. At the tender age of 4, she was an expert in playing the piano. When she was 13 years old, she wrote her first piano ballad and did her first performance in a night club of New York when she was 14 years of age. She got the opportunity to get admitted to New York University's Tisch School of Arts at an early age of 17 which was a good first achievement for her. There she continued to work on music and songwriting. In order to get creative and original inspiration, Lady Gaga later dropped out from school. After that she took up 3 jobs, which also included a stint as a gogo dancer in order to meet her financial needs. Def Jam Records signed this lady in the year 2005 but soon dropped her after a few months. This forced her to perform in different clubs on New York City's Lower East Side on her own. There she met different rock bands and collaborated with them to start on experiments amid fashion.
When she was 20 years old in 2007, Lady Gaga began working as a songwriter for Interscope Records. She wrote songs for other musical groups, for example The Pussycat Dolls, New Kids on the Block and for Britney Spears. She began to work at the local Lower East Side club scene. There she performed "Beautiful Dirty Rich" which was an instant hit. Lady Gaga is also quite popular for putting on unique outfits on stage.
She was performing a show of herself called "Lady Gaga and the Starlight Revue," when the famed singer Akon discovered her and immediately signed her for his label Kon Live under the Interscope umbrella after being impressed by her performance. Lady Gaga worked on her debut album named The Fame for two years in 2007 as well as 2008 during which she wrote and recorded the songs of the album. The album hit the stands throughout America. Lady Gaga rose to international fame with her own creative team called "Haus of Gaga". "Just Dance" was her debut single which was released in the year 2008. The song became so popular that it was nominated in the Best Dance Recording category of 2008's Grammy awards. Unfortunately the song could not win the award and it lost to "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger" by Daft Punk. But Lady Gaga topped the pop charts in early 2009. Her second single "Poker Face" earned her more accolades and she topped the list in every country. Akon's RedOne produced both these songs. Her songs are available in mp3 format and can be downloaded from various sites from the internet. Lady Gaga has collaborated with the reformed New Kids on the Block on the song 'Big Girl Now' and is due to embark upon a tour with it. This is the life of Lady Gaga which is an inspirational for people from all walks of life.
