Gaga was born on March 28, 1986 in Manhattan, New York City, to Cynthia Louise (Bissett) and Joseph Anthony Germanotta, Jr., an internet entrepreneur. Her father is of Italian descent, and her mother is of half Italian and half French-Canadian, English, German, and Scottish ancestry. Gaga was able to sing and play the piano from a young age. She attended the Convent of the Sacred Heart from age 11 where was bullied for her appearance (she was small and plumper than other girls with large front teeth) and eccentric habits. By the age of 14, Gaga was performing at open mike nights in clubs and bars.

By age 17, she had gained early admission to New York University's Tisch School of the Arts. In addition to sharpening her songwriting skills, she composed essays and analytical papers on art, religion, social issues and politics. At the age of 19 Gaga withdrew from her studies and moved out of her parents' home in order to pursue a musical career. During this time she started a band which began to gain local attention. After a brief partnership with talent scout Rob Fusari, which resulted in the creation of her stage name, Gaga was signed to Def Jam Records in 2006; however she was dropped from the label after just three months. Devastated, Gaga returned home, and became increasingly experimental: fascinating herself with emerging neo-burlesque shows, go-go dancing at bars dressed in little more than a bikini in addition to experimenting with drugs. Gaga met performance artist Lady Starlight during this time; after a performance at Lollapalooza Festival in 2007 Gaga was signed by Vince Herbert to Streamline Records, an imprint of Interscope Records.

Having served as an apprentice songwriter under an internship at Famous Music Publishing, which was later acquired by Sony/ATV Music Publishing, Gaga subsequently struck a music publishing deal with Sony/ATV. As a result, she was hired to write songs for Britney Spears and labelmates New Kids on the Block, Fergie, and the Pussycat Dolls. At Interscope, singer-songwriter Akon recognized her vocal abilities when she sang a reference vocal for one of his tracks in studio; Akon then convinced Interscope-Geffen-A&M Chairman and CEO Jimmy Iovine to form a joint deal by having her also sign with his own label Kon Live, making her his "franchise player." In 2008 Gaga released her first album 'The Fame' to lukewarm radio play; Gaga toured around Europe and in gay clubs in the US to promote the album - however it was not until her first hit 'Just Dance' came to mainstream attention in 2009 that Gaga exploded onto the music scene.

Since then Gaga has gained numerous awards and nominations for a string of hits; her first album spawned several more smash hits ('Paparazzi' 'LoveGame' and 'Poker Face'); while touring the album Gaga wrote 'The Fame Monster', an EP examining the darker side to her new-found fame. The Fame Monster was released in 2009 and won multiple awards, spawning her most iconic single 'Bad Romance' as well as 'Telephone' and 'Alejandro'. During this time Gaga came under increased public and critical scrutiny for her eccentric and often bizarre style choices. Gaga embarked on her second tour, The Monster Ball; upon finishing in May 2011, the critically acclaimed and commercially accomplished tour ran for over one and a half years and grossed $227.4 million, making it one of the highest-grossing concert tours of all time and the highest-grossing for a debut headlining artist. Concerts performed at Madison Square Garden in New York City were filmed for an HBO television special. The special accrued one of its five Emmy Award nominations and has since been released on DVD and Blu-ray.

In 2011 Gaga released her second full-length album 'Born this Way'; the album was received vastly more critically than her previous two for touching on themes of politics, sexuality, and religion. Despite this, the album's songs were praised critically, and Born This Way sold 1.108 million copies in its first week in the US, debuting atop the Billboard 200, and topping the charts in more than 20 other countries. In addition to exceeding 8 million copies in worldwide sales, Born This Way received 3 Grammy Award nominations, including her third consecutive for Album of the Year. In March 2012, Gaga was ranked fourth on Billboard's list of top moneymakers of 2011, grossing $25,353,039 dollars, which included sales from Born This Way and her Monster Ball Tour. At the end of April 2012, Gaga's Born This Way kicked off in Korea - the tour would last 2 years and take the singer to every continent of the globe.

However in February 2012 the tour was abruptly cancelled; Gaga had a labral tear in her right hip which she had been nursing secretly for several weeks in the hopes that she would be able to continue the tour. After a performance in Toronto left her unable to walk and in considerable pain, she was taken to hospital for surgery and the tour was cancelled. Through to Jan. 17, the tour had grossed $168.2 million and moved 1.6 million tickets to 85 shows, according to Billboard Boxscore, with the Asian, European, and South American legs already completed in 2012. The North American leg, which was to wrap the tour and was almost completely sold out, would have likely put the tour at more than $200 million gross, easily in the top 20 tours of all time and probably in the top 15, according to Billboard. As it stands, Gaga finished sixth among all touring artists in 2012, with a gross of $125 million and attendance of more than 1.1 million, according to Boxscore. Gaga wrote her third album, ARTPOP, released in 2013.

Gaga only discovered this when one of her close friends showed her the YouTube video of the parody Yankovic had just uploaded to his account, called "Perform This Way", after having gone viral via Twitter. Her manager forced Yankovic to go through (at his own expense) the process of writing, recording, mixing and mastering the song, all while Yankovic was on tour in Australia, prior to denying permission to him.

BIOGRAPHY: Lady Gaga Lifetime Lady Gaga has worked hard to get to the top, now there, she’s staying Lady Gaga was born Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta into a strict Catholic family on 28 March 1986 in New York. She began playing piano at the age of four and honed her formative skills while attending the private all-girls Roman Catholic school ‘Convent of the Sacred Heart’. She wrote her first ballad at the age of thirteen and from fourteen was performing at local open-mic nights. She also appeared in several school productions, such as ‘Guys and Dolls’ and ‘A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum.’ At fifteen she even had a small role in ‘The Sopranos’. Aged seventeen, after leaving high-school, she was encouraged by her mother to apply for the 'Collaborative Arts Project' in New York to study music -she was one of twenty students to gain early admission to the establishment. In her second year, she dropped out in order to focus on her music career, her father agreed to pay her rent for a year if she promised to return home if things didn’t go according to plan.

Gaga's first foray into the limelight occurred in summer 2005 when she recorded two songs with hip-hop artist Grandmaster Melle Mel for an audio book that accompanied a children's novel called ‘The Portal in the Park’. In September that year she established the Stefani Germanotta Band with some friends from her former university. Playing a mixture of self-penned tracks and covers of classic rock songs, SGB generated a small fan base at bars across New York. In 2006 Stefani worked with music producer Rob Fusari who’d chosen Stefani to front a new band, he also helped create her persona and, he claims, the stage name Lady Gaga. Their musical relationship took a while to become successful but in 2006, when Def Jam’s A&R man heard some of their electropop recordings, he signed Gaga to the label. The intention was to release an album in nine months' time but after just three the label dropped her. Devastated, Gaga returned home and submerged herself in the seedy nightlife of New York’s Lower East Side, she became a go-go dancer, experimented with drugs and alienated her once supportive family.

It was during this time that she met Lady Starlight and the pair began to perform together, they were invited to perform at 'Lollapalooza’ in 2007 and the show was a success, confirming to Gaga that her musical oeuvre, ostensibly, glam rock with a pop twist, was working. Later that year, Fusari encouraged Gaga to work with Streamline Records and she became a songwriter for Sony/ATV. After writing songs for the likes of Britney Spears, New Kids on the Block and the Pussycat Dolls she signed to Cherrytree Records. In 2008 she moved to Los Angeles and released her debut album ‘The Fame’ on 19 August 2008. The ‘Fame Ball tour’ helped the album to sell but it wasn't until the lead single ‘Just Dance’ reached the international charts that she became a household name. In January 2009, it topped charts across the globe, the sale of her album went through the roof and ‘Just Dance’ earned her first Grammy nomination which became one of the world’s best-selling singles.

Her next song ‘Poker Face’ was even bigger selling 9.8 million copies and winning Best Dance Grammy at the 52nd edition of the awards, ‘The Fame’ won Best Dance/Electronica album. More accolades followed including Billboard's Rising Star title, three MTV VMA nominations and she took home the prize for Best New Artist for the video of her third single ‘Paparazzi’. In 2009 she realised her EP, ‘The Fame Monster’, the lead single ‘Bad Romance’ topped the charts in eighteen countries and won her two more Grammys. Her next single ‘Telephone’, featuring Beyonce Knowles, became her fourth UK number one single. Her following single ‘Alejandro’ was criticised for the accompanying video. ‘Telephone’ had been risqué but ‘Alejandro’ was criticised for being blasphemous, despite this (or because of it) she became the first musician to attract more than one billion views on YouTube. She also went on to win eight of its thirteen nominations at the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards to which she wore her now iconic meat dress.

Gaga’s second worldwide tour ‘The Monster Ball’, was one of the highest-grossing tours of all time and was followed by the release of her second album ‘Born This Way’ on 23 May 2011 to positive critical acclaim. It sold 1.108 million copies in its first week but the tour had to be cut short after Gaga damaged her hip. The subsequent singles, ‘Born this Way’ (the 1000th number one single in the history of the charts) ‘Judas’ -featuring another controversial video- and ‘The Edge of Glory’ did well in the charts but ‘Marry the Night’ and ‘You and I’ didn’t fair quite as well. Nonetheless, in the same year she was ranked as the second most played artist of the year. After taking a sabbatical, Lady Gaga released ‘ARTPOP’ in November 2013. It went on to become her second number one album, though not as critically well-received as her previous two efforts. The singles ‘Applause’, ‘Do What U Want’ and ‘G.U.Y’ released on Gaga’s 28th birthday have merely added to her impressive CV.

Gaga took a break from pop music after the release of 'ARTPOP', releasing a jazz album with Tony Bennett. 'Cheek to Cheek' gave her another Number 1 hit in the US, and landed in the Top 10 in the UK. She co-wrote and performed the song 'Till It Happens To You' for the documentary 'The Hunting Ground', a look at the handling of sexual assault in America's college campuses. The song was nominated for an Oscar in 2016, with Gaga performing an emotional rendition of the song at the ceremony, but lost out to Sam Smith's Bond track 'Writing On The Wall'. Her fifth album is due to be released some time in late 2016. She also delved deeper in to acting, with an appearance in the film Machete Kills. She appeared on the FX television series 'American Horror Story: Hotel' as the mysterious Countess – a role that landed her a Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Miniseries. Her achievements include six Grammy Awards, thirteen MTV Video Music Awards as well as a string of acting credits and a burgeoning portfolio of philanthropy and activism. Lady Gaga remains an irrepressible tour de force at the top of her game.
