What is Lady Gaga's first name?
Born March 28, 1986 in New York, Lady Gaga (her real name is Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta) is an author, composer and performer. Attracted by music very early on, she learned the piano on her own at the age of four, composed her first ballads at the age of 13 and roamed the free stages from the age of 14. But for the precocious artist, success does not come immediately. After graduating from New York University to pursue her music career, she alternated odd jobs as a waitress and stripper in bars across the Big Apple.
At 19, she ended up signing with Def Jam Records but the label boss never called her back and her contract was terminated after three months. An adventure from which the singer emerges upset, but which does not prevent her from continuing to hope. Very religious, Lady Gaga leaves the family home and begins to perform on the Lower East Side stage with the group Mackin Pulsifer and SGBand. Music producer Rob Fusari helps him produce his first songs which remind him of the vocal style of Freddie Mercury. He affectionately nicknames the singer Gaga, in connection with the song Radio Gaga by Freddie Mercury, which begins to use this stage name: Lady Gaga is born! Unable to break into the song, she tries her hand at writing lyrics for artists like Fergie, the Pussycat Dolls, Britney Spears, signed by rapper Akon's music label… And that's Akon in person who, impressed by the singer's voice, offered to produce her first album.
In 2007, aged 21, she signed her first contract with Interscope Records, and began a partnership with singer Akon. The Fame, her debut album, was released the following year. Just dance, one of the tracks on the album, was number one worldwide for many weeks. To promote her album, the singer embarks on a world tour, The Fame Ball Tour, from March to September 2009. A tour which, according to her, would have inspired her second album. The Fame Monster, released in November 2009 is a reissue of his first album including 8 new tracks. One of the album's singles, Bad Romance, is considered his biggest hit and the album itself was the best-selling album of 2009, just behind Susan Boyle. At the Brit Awards 2010, she triumphed in London, winning the trophies for Best International Singer, Best International Album and International Revelation of the Year. Lady Gaga's third album was released in May 2011 under the title Born this way. At the end of 2011, Lady Gaga occupied second place in the world ranking thanks to her album Born this way, which sold more than 5 million copies worldwide. On April 27, 2012, the star began a new world tour, The Born This Way Tour in Seoul, South Korea and unveiled on June 27, 2012, during one of his concerts in Melbourne, Australia, an unreleased music, Princess Die , inspired by Princess Diana, which drew fierce criticism in the British media.
A stunning singer influenced by glam rock musicians like David Bowie and Freddie Mercury, she sports a unique style. Her own production team, called Haus of Gaga, personally creates her clothes, theatrical props, wigs ... A philanthropic artist, Lady Gaga has been involved in several charities throughout her career. In particular, she donated all of the proceeds from a concert, i.e. 350,000 euros, for the reconstruction of Haiti after the 2010 earthquake. Determined to educate young people about the risks of HIV, she also launched with Cindy Lauper a line of Viva Glam Gaga and Viva Glam Cindy lipsticks, in association with the MAC cosmetics brand. In March 2012, alongside her mother, she founded the Born This Way Foundation, an association dedicated to helping young victims of bullying and teenagers who feel bad about themselves. In September 2012, its Fame fragrance was released. In 2015, she was voted Woman of the Year by the American magazine Billboard.
In 2018, she added a string to her bow and made her acting debut on the poster for Bradley Cooper's film A star is born. Her performance earned her a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actress in a Dramatic Film. In February 2019, she won the Oscar for best original song for Shallow, soundtrack to the film A star is born.
Side heart, the singer broke in 2011 with her long-time lover, Luc Carl. Since then, she has found solace in the arms of actor Taylor Kinney. On February 14, 2015, the couple announced their engagement, and Lady Gaga, a social media fan, shared with her fans the photo of her heart-shaped engagement ring. But in July 2016, surprise, the couple broke up. Lady Gaga shares since the life of her artistic agent Christian Carino with whom she got engaged during the summer of 2017.
