Lady Gaga

Lady Gaga (born Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta on March 28, 1986) is an American singer, songwriter, and actress celebrated for her constant image reinvention and musical versatility. Raised in New York City, she began playing piano at age four and later attended New York University's Tisch School of the Arts before dropping out to focus on her music career. Her stage name, inspired by the Queen song "Radio Ga Ga," quickly became synonymous with global pop stardom following her 2008 debut album, The Fame. This record, featuring the international number-one hits "Just Dance" and "Poker Face," established her signature blend of electronic beats, catchy pop hooks, and provocative performance art.

Gaga’s career has extended successfully into acting. Her major breakthrough came with the 2018 film A Star Is Born, where her role earned her an Academy Award nomination for Best Actress and an Academy Award for Best Original Song for the chart-topping hit "Shallow." This achievement made her the first woman to win an Academy, BAFTA, Golden Globe, and Grammy Award in a single year. As one of the world's best-selling music artists, her accolades include 14 Grammy Awards, two Golden Globe Awards, and two Oscar wins. She is a cultural icon known for her bold fashion and commitment to activism, founding the Born This Way Foundation to support the mental wellness of young people and combat bullying. Lady Gaga continues to influence pop culture, relentlessly pushing boundaries across music, film, and fashion.
