  • This Grammy-winning singer-songwriter brings music, fashion and art together with her extravagant personality and performances.
  • Welcome to WatchMojo.com and today we're taking a look at the musical origins of Lady Gaga.
  • Stephanie Joanne Angelina Germanotta was born on March 28, 1986 in New York City.
  • By the age of four, she was already playing piano, and this led to her performing at open mic nights in her early teens.
  • She later dropped out of university to focus on her music career, and during this time she worked with various producers and musicians.
  • It was 2007 when the music industry started to take notice.
  • Her performances in a burlesque art show called Lady Gaga and the Starlight Review got her hired as a songwriter by Interscope Records.
  • Soon after, her vocal talent was recognized by R&B artist Akon, and she was signed to ConLive Distribution.
  • Her debut album, The Fame, came out in 2008 and combined the genres of pop, dance and electronic music.
  • The positively-reviewed record peaked at No. 2 in the U.S. and No. 1 in several other countries.
  • The Grammy-winning effort produced singles such as the sexually-charged Love Game and the synth-pop ballad, Paparazzi.
  • But it was the international hits Just Dance And Poker Face that really turned Lady Gaga into a star.
  • The singer embarked on her first critically-acclaimed headlining tour in 2009.
  • The EP The Fame Monster came next, and that album garnered several Grammy nominations, including one for the song Bad Romance.
  • The release also spawned the singles Telephone and Alejandro, And these songs were accompanied by controversial music videos that helped her become the first artist to reach one billion views on YouTube.
  • Lady Gaga also pushed boundaries with her live appearances and fashion statements.
  • Prior to the start of her second concert tour, she created waves with her blood-drenched performance during the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards.
  • Returning to the awards ceremony in 2010, she appeared in an outfit made entirely of and this caused a storm among animal rights organizations.
  • Also in 2010 came the release of a compilation called The Remix that featured alternate versions of her previous material.
  • This was followed by a duet with Elton John called Hello, Hello that appeared in the 2011 animated film Gnomeo and Juliet.
  • Gaga's second studio record, Born This Way, was released in 2011.
  • Her sophomore effort melded electronic music with rock, pop and dance.
  • Singles from the album included the title cut, which was iTunes' fastest-selling single to date, and the track Judas.
  • Though she is known for her music, the artist is also a philanthropist and a proponent for equal rights for gays and lesbians.
  • And with her danceable pop songs, her flamboyant sense of style, plus her extroverted on-stage image, Lady Gaga is definitely one of a kind.
