Lady Gaga











Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta (born March 28, 1986), better known by her stage name Lady Gaga, is an American pop singer. She began performing in the rock music scene of New York City's Lower East Side in 2003 and enrolled at New York University's Tisch School of the Arts. She soon signed with Streamline Records, an imprint of Interscope Records. During her early time at Interscope, she worked as a songwriter for fellow label artists and captured the attention of Akon, who recognized her vocal abilities, and signed her to his own label, Kon Live Distribution.

In 2008, Gaga came to prominence following the release of her debut album The Fame, which was a commercial success spawning two international number one singles — "Just Dance" and "Poker Face" — and reaching number one in the United Kingdom, Canada, Austria, Germany, Switzerland and Ireland. The album accomplished chart positions within the top-ten of countries worldwide, whilst in the United States, topped the Billboard Dance/Electronic Albums chart and peaked at number two on the Billboard 200 chart. After having already embarked on her first headlining tour The Fame Ball Tour by the fourth quarter of 2009, Gaga began her second The Monster Ball Tour, on which, she currently performs. Her most recent album The Fame Monster, an extension of her debut album, produced a further two global chart-topping singles "Bad Romance" and "Telephone". Her second studio album, Born This Way, is scheduled for release in 2011.

Inspired by glam rock artists like David Bowie and Queen, as well as pop singers such as Madonna and Michael Jackson, Gaga is well-recognized for her outrĂ© sense of style as a recording artist, in fashion and in performance. Gaga has sold more than 15 million albums and 51 million singles worldwide; her contributions to the music industry have also garnered her numerous awards including two Grammy Awards, amongst twelve nominations. By Billboard, she was named the Artist of the Year in 2010  and ranked the 73rd Artist of the 2000–10 decade. Gaga has been included in Time magazine's annual Time 100 list of the most influential people in the world as well as Forbes' list of the 100 Most Powerful and Influential celebrities in the world. Forbes also placed her at number seven on their annual list of the World's 100 Most Powerful Women.
