Stephanie Joanne Angelina germinada was

born on the 28th of March

1986 into a family with Italian and

French Canadian

ancestry growing up on the upper west

side of Manhattan her parents came from

lower class families working hard for

everything they had in order to provide

Stephanie with a good

upbringing Lady Gaga grew up in a

Italian American Family she wouldn't let

people forget that one and her parents

were very very workingclass but they

worked incredibly hard to put their

daughters through the best schools that

a middle class family wishing for their

children to go down the creative route

could ever hope for although gar girl

was was affluent from the start she

really had a strong work ethic instilled

into her cuz that's what her parents had

had had and how they'd achieved

something

her musical Talent was discovered at the

tender age of four when she began taking

piano lessons by age 13 she was

songwriting that's really kind of

underpins everything she does if you go

and see Lady gagar in Las Vegas today

she'll be playing the piano obviously

she's known for her kind of really high

powerered dance routines and her really

big bombastic performances but lady

gaggar at her piano is how she started

and she can still deliver in that way

today Stephanie's parents encouraged her

to pursue music and acting enrolling her

in a summer creative arts Camp while she

was on breaks from

school coming from a religious family

she attended the convent of the Sacred

Heart a private all girls Roman Catholic

School from age 11 before attending the

Lee straber theater and Film Institute

for 10 years to study method acting

while in her teens she auditioned for

many different acting roles and plays

with no success this led her to realize

she wasn't meant for the world of acting

yet and pushed her towards focusing on

music Stephanie then went on to attend

New York University Tish School of the

Arts studying music and improving her

songwriting

skills this solidified her passions for

creating music and performance

she dropped out in the second semester

of her sophomore year to focus on

creating music and becoming a

performer during this time of

self-discovery she realized that she

wasn't meant to be just Stephanie and

bigger dreams lied

[Music]

ahead Stephanie's introduction to the

music world came through her

relationship with music producer Rob

fusari he wanted to try and Kickstart a

career for her and even came up with her

Star Title Lady Gaga influenced by the

queen song Radio

Gaga shortly after recording some demos

with fusari Lady Gaga got her first

signing with de Jam records as a

songwriter before her own music was even

released she was songwriting for other

musicians the contract with Def Jam

records was shortlived as the company

didn't like this Persona of Lady Gaga

her edginess and obscure ideas so they

dropped her after 3 months with a heavy

heart Lady Gaga returned to her home in

New York and began to take performing

into her own hands she started up in

burles clubs and entered into the world

of go go dancing fusari continued

working on Gaga's demos wanting to see

her succeed eventually she met with

producers for inner scope records and

other imprints of the

company this led to her relocation to

Los Angeles to focus on releasing a

debut album she also established her own

creative team during this time House of

Gaga no we all see very eye to eye on

things and we Propel one another and

that's what's great about working with

your friends and working with people

that you really love their work because

you love to see them do great

things Lady Gaga's debut album The Fame

was released August 19th 2008 the album

was very successful and reached number

one in the UK along with other European

countries the album went on to win a

Grammy for best electronic dance

album you're in La hey guys um well I

just saw two music videos and I'm going

to go London the jobs and on tour them

now that's right you really excited

about that yes I'm so excited awesome as

we all know the fame was uh a phenomenon

really from the start her her first

single Just Dance was a number one hit

all around the

[Music]

world be

Just Dance with the song that launched

Gaga but I think the one that really

kind of cemented her as a huge deal was

poker face it's probably even today like

if you ask people to name two or three

lady gaggo songs they're going to say

poker face it's just such a catchy

Electro Pop Song of the era with a

really great glamorous

video can't my poker

face poker face was the bestselling

single of 2009 with 9.8 million copies

sold that year this song also won a

Grammy for Best Dance

recording she had cemented herself as

the new hot thing in pop music and it

was only when she started to do a few

interviews that people realized there is

a lot of depth on underneath here this

is the Trojan Horse the Trojan Horse was

this very clean happy accessible pop

whereas there were layers beneath that

we would come to see more

of the fame was largely inspired by The

Surge of tabloid stories surrounding

female pop stars in the years it debuted

Gaga said the album was intended as a

warning to leave female tabloid fixtures

alone it's another song that's really

kind of playing off this idea that

Gaga's whole purpose is to be famous her

whole purpose is to give everything

she's got to her fans but that that

comes with a downside which is that the

paparazzi are going to Hound her and she

really visualizes that with her

performance at the VMAs in 2009 where we

see her rising from the stage and

bleeding Gaga's performance of Paparazzi

at the 2009 VMA Awards is considered by

many to be a performance that changed

pop music forever

the

[Music]

super it's really her saying look I'm

giving you everything I've got even if

it hurts me that's how deep I'm into

what I'm doing and this isn't a job for

me this is my life she completely

confounded what was being expected from

her she headlined her first tour the

fame ball from March to September

2009 the most important thing to me is

my fans and to using to use my music and

the performance art of what I do to be

an inspiration and to liberate I always

say my art is Liberation it reminds me

why I want to do work like this so much

because I look out into the audience and

I hear them singing my music and and

supporting me and I think I want to do

everything I can to protect them because

some of them are very troubled and

insecure and don't feel that they fit

in while on this tour she wrote eight

new songs which made up a new album The

Fame Monster

EP despite everything she's got going on

she manages to write what's essentially

a whole new album and eight track EP The

Fame Monster which actually could be

lady gara's greatest ever release it's

got no dud tracks on it every song is a

winner its first single Bad Romance was

released one month earlier and went to

number one in the UK and Canada reaching

number two in the US Bad Romance also

won the Grammy for Best short form music

video and best female pop vocal

performance not a bad start to her

career

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

I I find it so important to be now a ro

model and a figure and I know that that

might sound strange to some people who

say oh but she's so you know her

clothing and whatever people may think

of me I know what some people may think

of me but most importantly is my

connection with my fans and the

connection that they breed with one

another

within the first couple years of her

professional career she had generated

such a buzz surrounding her music and

Persona Lady Gaga was who everyone was

talking

about anticipation for her next album

was incredible she had already

established a huge fan base Who Loved

Her Style and the image of being true to

yourself

Born This Way Gaga's second studio album

was released on May 23rd 2011 debuting

in the top five of every major music

chart

worldwide Lady Gaga's second album Born

this away arrived with so much

expectation she was the biggest pop star

on the planet at this stage and she'd

just come off The Fame Monster which was

an eight track EP that was basically

perfect there was a lot of expectation

on Lady Gaga to do as well as The Fame

Monster she'd already set up this huge

Legend around herself as being a pop

star who could mess around with our

expectations and create wonderful catchy

pop at the same time and then Born This

Way came along the single of the same

name earned a Guinness World Record when

it sold more than 1 million copies

within 5 days of its release it was a

self- declared gay anthem it was her

directly mentioning LGBT issues and she

mentioned transgender in a song before

it had ever been mentioned in any other

mainstream recorded song she said I'm

going to make you a gay anthem and the

gays loved it this uh

album is my

baby I spent uh over a year and a half

almost two years writing it uh and I

wrote it while on tour U on the

monsterball tour so I was inspired by

each and every city that I went to and

the fans from each in every city the

album is about being yourself and loving

who you are and being proud and that in

life you can be reborn over and over

again until you find that part of you uh

that represents you the

best the single also gained Gaga a lot

of respect for supporting everyone being

who they want to be and promoting

self-love she also became very popular

with the lgbtq plus Community from

this it was all about being who you are

no matter who you are it really set into

motion a big cultural discussion that

was already being had by a lot of people

in the LGBT community but she showed

herself as a real Ally and set up an

LGBT foundation called the Bor this way

Foundation it was an incredibly

successful song

[Music]

right I think over time that song has

really solidified her relationship with

the lgbtq community it's not the most

subtle song in the world it's a little

bit obvious but I think everyone knows

that what Gaga was doing was

well-meaning and it's a you know it's a

really massive tune if you're out in the

club and that song comes on you're going

to

dance Gaga began work on her third

studio album art pop in early 2012

during the Born This Way ball

tour people started to perhaps lose

sight of her PO overtones it was it was

revealing more of her artser interests

Born This Way the previous album had

performed well but maybe not quite as

well as as she would have liked and Art

Pop from the start was talked up as this

kind of phenomenon that was like no

album we'd ever seen before there was

talk of it being an app and inventing a

whole new kind of music I mean Art Pop

was basically a play on like warhol's

pop art but Gaga was talking up like

something new art pop sold more than 2.4

million copies worldwide showing Gaga

was continuously dominating ratings and

music sales applause was the first

single to be released from this album it

received positive feedback for its fast

pace and catchiness

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

in 2014 Lady Gaga showed the world a new

side to her vocals by recording a jazz

album with fellow musician Tony Bennett

the album cheek to cheek explored a more

downto Earth angle of Gaga's character

she decided to go to all these old

classics and sing with Tony Bennett this

legendary jazz singer and they sang

cheek to cheek which is you know the

biggest the biggest song off of that

duet

[Music]

album heart that I

can and I seem to find the happiness I

see out together dancing out together

dancing together

dancing choosing to do these old Jazz

Classics with this huge voice that she

hadn't necessarily been able to show off

within the songs from beforehand was a

sudden maturing she's up there with

Barbara stren now and it appeals to an

audience she might never have had before

and she might never have had if she'

never done that album album she appealed

to people that like easy listening and

people who like jazz and people who

adore Tony Bennett as she does as well

and the Affinity they had was quite huge

Lady Gaga wanted to be able to show off

what she can do without the dancing

without the

visuals this album also won her another

Grammy for Best traditional pop vocal

album at the time people thought it was

a little kind of side project a little

side step from her actually 5 years

later we can see it's maybe the

beginning of gagar laying the groundwork

to become a more of an allround

Entertainer it's showing that she can

hold her own vocally with one of the

greatest vocalists ever and make a whole

album with him I mean Tony Bennett has

recorded with a lot of younger artists

but gaggo is the only one he's made a

full album with so it's real really an

endorsement for her kind of uh her

future as a long-term Legacy

artist it's

[Music]

crowning that's why the

is a

[Applause]

[Music]

TR sometimes I go to Cony Island oh the

beach is

[Music]

divine Jet's just

[Music]

fine she sings every

line that's why the lady is

[Music]

a in 2015 she fulfilled her lifelong

dreams of wanting to be an actress by

Landing a role in American Horror Story

Hotel I always imagined that I would

have a long love affair with music and

with art and with reading my books and

plays but I never imagined any of this

this is truly magnificent and uh I'm

extremely honored to be in the company

of such talented people tonight I always

wanted to be an actress I went to acting

school for many years and this is is

just the best thing that could have ever

happened to me honestly lady gagar

joining this series could have been seen

as stunt casting but actually when the

show aired it was impeccable casting

Gaga just brings so much Charisma to the

role it really is the start of us seeing

her as a as a really viable incredible

actress at the 73rd Golden Globe awards

Gaga received the best actress in a

miniseries or television film award for

her work on the season the Countess is

very

evil she's

not a Goodwill kind of

person but what I do find in her which I

am happy to say today is that after 100

years she never gave up no matter what

she went through and you will fail in

this business it's a matter of when and

the true test is if you can continue pop

stars who try to launch acting careers

are often made fun of but straight away

with her first major role gargo wins a

Golden Globe for a best actress in a TV

series so straight away the kind of the

the stigma that pop stars who try to act

tend to get saddled with gargo has got

an answer to that she's got a Golden

Globe in her cabinet so straight away

she's a a viable actress who can look to

get bigger roles in the future

[Music]

in 2016 Lady Gaga released her fifth

studio album Joanne named after her late

Aunt who was an inspiration for the

music it became her fourth number one

album on the billboard 200 making her

the first woman to reach the US chart

Summit four times in the 2010s how's it

being out there again getting Joanne to

the world and everyone hearing it it's

wonderful it's also very emotional you

know I think over the past uh 10 years

now that I've been in the music industry

I've been watching not only what's

happening in music but what's happening

in culture and society and I see that

money has been put on this tremendous

pedestal I see that being wealthy and

being beautiful has been put on this

tremendous pedestal and with Joanne I

wanted to create a record that was about

putting family on a pedestal and

kindness on a pedestal and friendship on

a p on a pedestal

lady gaggar comes back with her Joan

album the cover shows uh lady gaggar

wearing a pink cowboy hat which is

really her saying this is my strip back

root SE American album there's a lot of

country sounds on there it's an album

that very personal in its themes and in

its musical approach really trying to

show a more kind of rootsy and raw side

to Lady

[Music]

Gaga Joanne features stripped down

country soft rock and dance pop genres

which really emphasize her vocal

abilities I always get nervous before I

sing I always get nervous before I I

come out to see the press and say hello

to everyone because it's um quite a

responsibility and I would actually say

I'm more nervous now than I used to be

because when I was younger I didn't

quite understand what it meant to have a

voice in the world and I didn't have the

same voice in the world that I do today

and now I am so aware of it and I want

to make sure I always say the right

thing uh to inspire young girls and boys

to inspire Inspire older girls and boys

uh to in uh be uh a role model in some

type of way I know that I'm not a a role

model and always in everyone's eyes um

but I do the best that I can through

music and uh through

performance the album was also very

different from what Gaga had released

previously perfect illusion was the lead

single from the Joan album and it's kind

of a bridge between path lady gagar and

lady gagar today and it's got a rockier

sound but it's also a song that works

well on the dance

floor it was love it was a perfect

illusion

[Music]

this is a record about uh being

vulnerable I'm not better than anyone

else and I'm not less than anyone else

we are all here together we're all human

and we're walking on the same Earth and

that is what Joanne is that's my middle

name Gaga performed as the headlining

act during the Super Bowl 51 halftime

show on February 5th

2017 her performance featured a group of

hundreds of lighted drones forming

various shapes in the sky above

Houston's NRG Stadium the first time

robotic aircraft appeared in a Super

Bowl

program it attracted

117.5 million viewers in the United

States exceeding the game's

13.3 million

viewers the performance led to a surge

of 4 410,000 song downloads in the

United States for

Gaga and earned her an Emmy nomination

in the outstanding special class program

category she embarked on a world tour

for the album after her performance at

the Super Bowl halftime

show the creation of this album and her

preparation for the halftime show were

the main features for her own

documentary Gaga 5 fo2 which premiered

on Netflix

well basically what I told him is is if

I am aware that you are filming me all

the time I'm going to go crazy and we

can't do this simply so as long as you

can be a fly on the wall and I sort of

forget that you're there you know I'll

give you access to everything uh it was

very easy to do that in a way and what's

so remarkable about this collaboration

is like everything that I do I like to

jump in fully so I was happy to be his

subject and I'm really looking forward

to seeing it I'm going to see the full

film right

now it also documented Gaga struggles

with fibromyalgia a chronic pain

condition she has suffered with severely

which also influenced the cancellation

of the last 10 dates of her Joan

to the truth is that it's always

affected my work and it's always

affected me

completely uh I wouldn't say that it is

any more now than it's ever been

becoming more open about her condition

and struggles with chronic pain have

encouraged a conversation surrounding

the condition and has helped others to

understand its symptoms and effects

fibromyalgia isn't a condition that

people had really ever heard of before

and I think initially there was a little

bit of skepticism in the press that

maybe Gaga was just tired or couldn't be

bothered to do these last 10 shows what

we now know is that it's a really

serious condition that's plagued gagar

her entire career early on she didn't

talk about it much so it came as a bit

of a surprise when we heard she'd been

diagnosed with it I think now everyone

knows that it's a legitimate condition

that Gaga will have to manage for the

rest of her career especially when she's

on the

road her body is not doing what she

wants it to do and I think any woman in

her early 30s not knowing what's going

on there is going to be freaked out to

some extent and seeing that was a real

reality check and people began to see

Gaga for the human she is is behind the

Pomp and ceremony in the ridiculous

shows in the big huge pop

music in 2018 Lady Gaga made her

onscreen debut in a remake of the 1937

romantic musical A Star is Born the

Remake was directed by Bradley Cooper

who was also taking on one of the lead

roles opposite

Gaga Lady Gaga's next big acting role is

a Star is Born fourth time Hollywood has

made a star is born when the film was

announced we heard she was going to be

starring with Bradley Cooper uh and that

he'd be directing there was a little bit

of skepticism I think the general

consensus was we don't need another

version of this story we've seen it with

Judy Garland we've seen it with Barbara

strand but as soon as it started playing

at film festivals even before the film

came out it was clear it was going to be

a really big deal garg's performance was

really the thing that was singled out

for the most praise uh she plays a

character called Ally who's a an

aspiring singer songwriter who uh

becomes involved with a an older

established star who's got a drink

problem and she's really the heart and

soul of that film so I think after A

Star is Born she's a legitimate film

actress who can probably have her pick

of roles hey what I just want to take

another look at you in all the good

times I find myself

change here what we're going to do we

come sing that song what I love no I

can't do that here we

go look at me all you got to do is trust

me that's all you got to

do I have to say that me and Bradley

were so entrenched in the

characters uh that this moment when we

were filming felt so real so alive we

had a live audience watching us we sang

the film live uh and because I have

never done a film before as a actress

for me it was very easy to kind of go to

a place where I was saying to myself

okay I've never done this before this is

my first time on

film and and and get into that

circumstance and then go out into play

and and she she does Ally has that she

takes a bit of liquid courage she knocks

down the shot glass she goes out there

and she gives it her all and I remember

very well that I it was I think the last

take of the uh performance we did many

takes of it and it was the last take and

Bradley came over to me right before and

he said okay now on this one I want you

just to have fun and I I performed and

I'll never forget it it really did feel

like I was performing on my song for the

first time it was very very

special and I I just have to add to that

we can all attest to that you know it

was special for you but I wish you could

have been there to actually watch it

happen because as while we were filming

this movie we also had the opportunity

of watching and being a part of watching

her sing every day and it was literally

the whole crew would just sit back and

we were all we all kind of forgot we

were even doing a job every time she

sang we were just sort of sitting there

watching it and feeling very grateful

that we were there at this moment to

watch this incredible artist uh do her

thing and that really never got old

right I mean it was just in it was

insane all of a sudden she starts and

you know the temperature in the room

changes she somehow managed to Pedal

this line that she was just this little

this you know little unknown from from

Manhattan just try to make it big in the

big city and uh not

quite acknowledging that she was already

a huge star but it was a comeback in

some way she'd already had to cancel a

load of concerts people weren't

necessarily sure they were going to get

another tour out of her and then she

comes along with this story all about a

young woman a lot like

herself going against the odds and

making it into a huge start and kind of

crushing everyone else in her path I've

been able over the years to meet some

amazing musicians uh who have done very

well in their field and uh the one thing

that I'd always heard unsolicited was

how much respect she has across the

community as an artist um out IDE of

that I was not that familiar with her

and it wasn't until I heard her sing

live where I was absolutely blown away

and then I met her a couple days later

and then once meeting her it's you know

she's an incredible human being and um

it was then I got very excited about the

idea of her potentially you know using

all of that magic uh what I wasn't aware

of was her work ethic her work ethic is

just

unparalleled the pair had amazing

onscreen chemistry and even performed

the leading single from the film shallow

several times at awards

shows lady gar didn't just star in a

star as born very cleverly she exec

produced and recorded the soundtrack she

actually wrote A lot of the songs on a

star is born with Mark Ronson who she'd

worked with on Joanne and in hindsight

you can almost see Joanne as kind of a

test run for the aar's born soundtrack

The Big breakout hit from AAR is born is

shallow her dur of Bradley Cooper which

won best song at the Oscars and at the

Golden Globes and is probably up there

with poker Faith now her defining song

when they performed it at the Oscars it

really flipped around what had happened

in a star was born and a star was born

you've got Jackson who's Cooper and

you've got Ally who's Lady gaggar and

Jackson's kind of helping Ally into this

big wide world of the music industry and

then cut to the Oscars you've got

Bradley Cooper who's not the best singer

and Lady Gaga at the piano just her

encouraging him to really go for it and

sing and her kind of taking him through

it and at the end they almost almost

kiss which of course added to so many

more rumors that they were together

which definitely increased the hype

around the film

[Music]

in

[Music]

the

the this was the leading single from the

film it reached number one on both the

US and UK

charts the song earned Gaga an Academy

Award a Golden Globe and critic's choice

movie award for best original song as

well as Grammys for best pop Duo and

best song written for visual media I I

said it before and I'll say it again

this is not easy work and nothing was

handed to us and I couldn't be prouder

to be up here with my real friends we

really sat in a room and wrote a song

together not knowing if anyone would

give a

damn and we talk to each other about

life say something Mark I can't keep

talking well we also me and her drank a

lot of Jameson she sat at a piano I'm

telling you like then not today she sat

she sat at a piano and we all had

headphones on and there was like this

slightly quiet hushed vibe in the room

and and Anthony was playing a guitar and

I remember when she first was kind of

like throwing out M she was like tell me

something girl and all my hair stood up

and I thought like it felt like someone

hugging my soul from like the heavens

and there's that's what this song has it

has Melancholy it has Triumph it has the

feeling of a hug all these things then

the performance in the film and

Bradley's direction is what then put it

in everyone's heart so that's all I

really we have to than Bradley

tremendously because the truth is

everybody in this room knows this song

would not be what it is without this

film and without Bradley Cooper and

without his incredible voice on this

record and without the way he shot this

moment in this

film Gaga and Cooper together wrote and

produced most of the 34 songs on the

soundtrack as of June 2019 the

soundtrack had sold over 6 million

copies

worldwide it just means the world to me

you know I love acting so much I've

always wanted to be an actress and I

worked really really hard on

transforming into Ally you know she's

nothing like me she's nothing like how I

was when I decided I wanted to go for it

and be a musician and be a songwriter

and you know become all the dreams that

I had uh to be honored this evening is a

recognition of hard work and you know I

just want every little girl and little

boy and people of all sexual identities

that are out there to know that you can

dream big and if you work hard you can

achieve what whatever that she

[Music]

want Lady Gaga's fans call her mother

monster and she often refers to them as

little monsters a phrase which she had

tattooed on herself in

dedication as a proud bisexual woman

Gaga actively supports lgbtq plus rights

worldwide as she attributes UT most of

her early success as a mainstream artist

to the gay

community it's pretty hard to find a big

female pop star who doesn't have an

lgbtq fan base but even allowing for

that Gaga has got a special bond with

that Community I think it's rooted in

the fact that Gaga has championed uh

lgbtq people right from the start of her

career and fought for the

representation she highlights LG gbt

people but also sing about a Defiance

about pushing through about evolving and

about the wonders of just letting

yourself go on the Dance Floor her

fostering of the monsters of the weird

people of the strange and obscure and

the Avant guard is always going to lend

itself to her being great to this

community I hope that everyone there in

Sydney feels so much joy and celebrates

all sexual

identities and I also have a true dream

in our future as we evolve as Humanity

that these award shows will not be male

and female but that we include

everyone her music is relatable as she

writes about being yourself accepting

who you are and depicts herself as

someone who never fit in properly but

she's proud of who she is today a

message she spreads to the

community I believe in the power of

music to change people's lives not

necessarily my music um but music in

general and I want to do everything that

I can to mobilize the youth to be aware

of what's going on worldwide and help

another throughout her career she has

worn a large variety of Daring outfits

four-piece outfit change throughout her

walk on the carpet fitting with the

year's Camp theme

however further into her career Gaga

started to calm down with her

image Gaga has said in various

interviews that she didn't feel good

accessories she says the continual

reinvention is liberating herself which

she has been drawn to since
