I first heard of Lady Gaga on "The Hills" when one women PR queen Kelly Cutrone sent Whitney and Lauren to assit in a show. Needless to say Lady Gaga was dress in latex from head to toe, and of course her zipper broke and little Miss Lauren came to the rescue (so scripted). I thought that was all I was going to see of the spaced out latex misfit, (so I thought) but after a little research, she's actually pretty fabulous. Lady Gaga is a very sought after singer and songwriter for some pretty big wigs in the industry not to mention she's all over the fashion scene, like it or not.
This Upper Westsider from Matthattan was originally signed to Def Jam when L.A Reid heard her singing down the hall from his office, but after 3 month she was drop from the label and was then picked up by Interscope Records. At age 20, she began working for Interscope as a songwriter, penning songs for pop acts such as the Pussycat Dolls, Britney Spears, Fergie and more. She has been influenced by rockers such as David Bowie and Queen (I love Queen, R.I.P Freddie Mercury) as well as '80s pop singers such as Madonna and Michael Jackson.
In 2008, GaGa released her debut album, The Fame, which she explained was "about how anyone can feel famous".To date, the album spawned the hit singles "Just Dance" and "Poker Face", the former of which is nominated for a Best Dance Recording Grammy Award
