Best known by her stage name Lady Gaga, Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta is an American singer-songwriter and musician. She was born on March 28, 1986. The latter part of the name is variably spelled either GaGa or Gaga, both on her websites and by her record label. She has been influenced by glam rockers such as David Bowie and Queen as well as '80s pop singers such as Madonna and Michael Jackson.
Lady Gaga was originally signed to Def Jam when she was 19 years old. It happened after the record executive L. A. Reid heard her singing down the hallway from his office. However Gaga states Reid never met with her.
After singer-songwriter and record producer Akon recognized that Lady Gaga also had vocal talent, he signed her to a joint deal with his own label, Kon Live Distribution, and then started to work on her own new material for her debut album. In 2008, Gaga released The Fame, which she explained was "about how anyone can feel famous". To date, the album spawned the international hit singles "Just Dance" (nominated for Best Dance Recording at the 51st Grammy Awards) and "Poker Face".
