Gifted and blessed with a musical talent, she learned the piano at 4. She wrote and performed her first piano ballad at 13. In her younger school years, she was an avid participant in high school musicals and played in at least 2 lead roles: Adelaide in “Guys and Dolls” and Philia in “Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum”. At age 17, her was enrolled at New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts. There she studied music and improved her songwriting skills.

She was then introduced to songwriter and producer RedOne where they produced her first song “Boys Boys Boys”. Later, she formed the Stefani Germanotta Band and played at the Lower East Side club and neo-burlesque shows.

Stefani’s stage name came by accident. It originated from Queen song “Radio Ga Ga” that was “auto corrected” to “Lady Ga Ga” by a word processor! How convenient.

Both were invited to showcase their talents at American Lollapalooza music festival. The show was an instant hit and received positive reviews.

It was Akon who first discovered her singing abilities and eventually signed her up under his own label, Kon Live Distribution. Gaga continued her collaboration with RedOne for a week on her debut album “The Fame” that featured “Just Dance” and “Poker Face”.

“The Fame” received fantastic reviews and it top the charts in Austria, United Kingdom, Canada, Ireland, Australia and United States.
