Lady Gaga

Who doesn't know who Lady Gaga is? I don't have to introduce her to anybody. This page is dedicated to her songwriting career.

She was born and named Stefani Germanotta in 1986. When she was only four years old, she started learning how to play the piano. She was only thirteen when she wrote her first song. At seventeen she started the music major at New York University. While studying, she wrote several analytical essays about music and several important social issues.

Lady Gaga was a songwriter intern at Famous Music Publishing, which was later taken over by Sony/ATV Music Publishing. She wrote some songs for Britney Spears's new CD (including Telephone - which was rejected by Britney), New Kids On The Block (Full Service) and The Pussycat Dolls (Elevator).

A little later Akon recognized her amazing vocal abilities and soon she was signed to Kon Live Distribution, which is Akon's label. She then released her very first studio album, The Fame (2008), with the internationally successful songs Just Dance and Poker Face. Her follow-up album was called The Fame Monster (2009), which included mega-selling singles such as Bad Romance and Telephone. Her third studio album's title is Born This Way.

A little later she was introduced to RedOne and they started producing songs together. More and more people recognized her singing and songwriting abilities and the rest is history. She has won several Grammy Awards, including Best Female Pop Vocal Performance (for Bad Romance) and Best Pop Vocal Album (for The Fame Monster).

She cites glam rock artists like David Bowie, Elton John, Queen and pop artists Madonna, Michael Jackson and Amy Winehouse as her inspirations.

Her releases include:

▪ The Fame (Just Dance, Poker Face)
▪ The Fame Monster (Bad Romance, Telephone featuring Beyoncé)
▪ Born This Way (Born This Way)
