Early Life

Gaga learned to play the piano by the age of 4. At the age of 11, she was accepted to the Julliard School in Manhattan, but instead attended a private Catholic school in the city. She continued studying music and performing, writing her first piano ballad at the age of 13, and she held her first performance in a New York nightclub at the age of 14. Gaga's family lived in New York's exclusive Upper East Side neighborhood, but they were for much of her early life, leaving her with plenty of time to style her hair, creative wicked outfits, and of course, to sing. Germanotta was a hit at open mike onwards, putting her budding piano skills to the test.

After a brief stint at art school, Germanotta dropped out, feeling that she was more able than most of her classmates and that the school's slow schedule was holding her back. She asked her Dad for enough money to cover her rent for a year, and claimed that if her music career never took off, she would more straight back home and attend art school again 'as a backup plan.'

Career.

Once again, Gaga had an opportunity, and this time she refused to squander it. She spent the next year writing songs for other artists at the company, until well-known R&B singer Akon saw great potential in her when she was called in to perform as a reference singer. He immediately signed on to produce her album, and insisted that she partner with some of his close friends. Those friends happened to be Red One, famed producer and a key aspect of Gaga's sound. Her own discography of tracks grew, and on 2008, Gaga exploded onto the scene with her hit ' Just Dance'. A catchy dance-pop song, it was followed with numerous other singles, and her acclaimed follow up album The Fame: Monster. The song topped singles charts in almost every country. Both songs were produced by Akon's affiliate RedOne, who co-wrote most of Lady Gaga's album.

Gaga also showed her gifts as an actress by co-starring in American Horror Story: Hotel, earning a Golden Globe for her portrayal of The Countess.
