Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta is known better by her pop star stage name - Lady Gaga. Gaga was born on March 28,1986 in Manhattan, New York to parents Joseph and Cynthia Germanotta.Descending from her Italian and French - Canadian roots, Gaga is the eldest of two children, her sister Natili, was born in 1992. Despite her upbringing in the family home, Gaga stressed that she did not come from a wealthy background stating that both parents had worked for everything to get where they are now.
From age 11 Gaga (who was raised Roman Catholic) attended the convent of the Sacred Heart a private all-girls Roman Catholic school in Manhattan. She described her academic life ‘very dedicated, very disciplined but also a bit insecure’. Singing was number one, recalled a former high school class mate. Gaga taught herself the piano at the age of 4 and went on to write her first piano ballad at 13. Her passion for musical theatre brought her lead roles in high school productions.
When her time at the Convent of the Sacred Heart came to an end, her mother encouraged her to apply for the Collaborative Arts Project 21, a musical theatre training conservatory at New York University’s Tisch school of the arts. After becoming one of the 20 students to gain early admission, she eventually lived in a New York University dorm by the age of 17.
Gaga withdrew from the Arts Project. She decided to focus on her musical career. Her Father agreed to pay her rent for a year, on the condition that she re - enroll at Tisch if unsuccessful.
By 2008, Gaga had relocated to Los Angeles in order to work extensively with her record label to complete her debut album. The Fame was first released on August 19 2008 to radio play.
We believe that Lady Gaga is a very inspiring person because she likes to be herself by creating dresses that express her individuality.
