Mini bio
How it started.
Born Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta in New York City, Gaga studied at NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts before leaving to pursue music. She developed her act in the Lower East Side scene, bringing performance, costumes and pop songwriting together.
The breakout.
Her 2008 debut The Fame introduced “Just Dance” and “Poker Face,” both US No. 1 singles. “Bad Romance” followed in 2009, and Born This Way arrived in 2011. Dance music stayed central to her work, while her albums with Tony Bennett gave her another home in jazz.
Beyond the records.
Gaga starred in American Horror Story: Hotel and played Ally in A Star Is Born, singing “Shallow” with Bradley Cooper. She shared the 2019 original song Oscar for “Shallow.” In 2012 she co-founded Born This Way Foundation with her mother, Cynthia Germanotta, to support young people’s mental health and wellbeing.
The current chapter.
MAYHEM brought together her pop songwriting and theatrical performance in 2025. The project continued through The MAYHEM Ball and the 2026 Apple Music Live release MAYHEM Requiem, which rebuilt its songs around new live arrangements.
