History of GaGa

When Lady Gaga was a little girl, she would sing along on her mini plastic tape recorder to Michael Jackson and Cyndi Lauper hits and get twirled in the air in her dad's arms to the sounds of the Rolling Stones and the Beatles. She was a precocious child and would dance around the table at fancy Upper WestSide restaurants using the breadsticks as a baton. And, she would innocently greet a new babysitter in nothing but her birthday suit.

Lady Gaga is the girl who at age 4 learned piano by ear. By age 13, she had written her first piano ballad. At 14, she played open mic nights at clubs such as New York’s the Bitter End by night and was teased for her quirky, eccentric style by her Convent of the Sacred Heart School (the Manhattan private school Nicky and Paris Hilton attended) classmates by day. At age 17, she became one of 20 kids in the world to get early admission to Tisch School of the Arts at NYU. Signed by her 20th birthday and writing songs for other artists (such as the Pussycat Dolls, and has been asked to write for a series of Interscope artists) before her debut album was even released, Lady Gaga has earned the right to reach for the sky.

She later on started performing at clubs and bars in New York City. Performing her own songs that she wrote. With Her unique songs and unquie clothing line that she all makes her self.

After signing her first deal with Def Jam recorders, she was on their record for 3 months when they dropped her. She then started working with RedOne, when she first started to recored some of her songs. During this time Gaga had her down fall and expermented with some drugs, but when her father found out about it she got back onto track.

During her starting out stage Gaga was the opening act for perfomers such as "New Kids on The Block", and "The PussyCat Dolls". Some people say that she was better than the main act.

Her First CD that came out in 2006 "The Fame became a huge successs. The CD’s opener and first single, “Just Dance,” gets the dance floor rocking with it’s “fun, L.A., celebratory vibe.” As for the equally catchy, “Boys Boys Boys,” Gaga doesn’t mind wearing her influences on her sleeve. As Gaga said, “I wanted to write the female version of Motley Crue’s ‘Girls Girls Girls,’ but with my own twist. I wanted to write a pop song that rockers would like.”

“Beautiful Dirty Rich” sums up her time of self-discovery, living in the Lower East Side and dabbling in drugs and the party scene. “That time, and that song, was just me trying to figure things out,” says Gaga. “Once I grabbed the reigns of my artistry, I fell in love with that more than I did with the party life.” On first listen, “Paparazzi” might come off as a love song to cameras, and in all honestly, Gaga jokes “on one level it is about wooing the paparazzi and wanting fame. But, it’s not to be taken completely seriously. It’s about everyone’s obsession with that idea. But, it’s also about wanting a guy to love you and the struggle of whether you can have success or love or both.”

It’s been a while since a new pop artist has made her way in the music industry the old-fashioned/grass roots way by paying her dues with seedy club gigs and self-promotion. This is one rising pop star who hasn’t been plucked from a model casting call, born into a famous family, won a reality TV singing contest, or emerged from a teen cable TV sitcom. “I did this the way you are supposed to. I played every club in New York City and I bombed in every club and then killed it in every club and I found myself as an artist. I learned how to survive as an artist, get real, and how to fail and then figure out who I was as singer and performer. And, I worked hard.”

Her new CD that was just release "The Fame Monster", has already been a great success. With some top hitting charts like "Bad Romance", and "Telephone".Her year promoting the new CD has begone and will end mid 2010.
