WHY IS SHE FAMOUS

BIOGRAPHY

Stefani Gabriella Germanotta (later known as Lady Gaga) was born in March 1986, in New York, New York, to an Italian family. She attended Convent of the Sacred Heart school and, as a little girl, she remembers singing into a plastic tape recorder to the likes of Cyndi Lauper and Michael Jackson. By age 4, Lady Gaga had taught herself to play the piano, and when she was a teenager, she penned her first song. When she was just 14, she was playing open mike nights at New York’s Bitter End, and by the age of 17, she had been accepted into the Tisch School of the Arts at NYU.

Lady Gaga started working the local Lower East Side club scene, performing then-hits like "Beautiful Dirty Rich" while donning her unique stage outfits. When she was 20, she started working for Interscope Records and was busy writing songs for other musical groups, such as The Pussycat Dolls.

In August 2007, Lady Gaga performed at Lollapalooza.
