Signature

Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta^[a] (born March 28, 1986), known professionally as Lady Gaga, is an American singer, songwriter and actress. Known for her image reinventions and versatility across the entertainment industry, she is an influential figure in popular music.\n

After signing with Interscope Records in 2007, Gaga achieved global recognition with her debut album, The Fame (2008), and its reissue The Fame Monster (2009). The project scored a string of successful singles, including \"Just Dance\", \"Poker Face\", \"Bad Romance\", \"Telephone\", and \"Alejandro\". Her second full-length album, Born This Way (2011), explored electronic rock and techno-pop and sold more than one million copies first-week. Its title track became the fastest-selling song on the iTunes Store, with over one million downloads in less than a week. Following her electronic dance music-influenced third album, Artpop (2013), she pursued jazz on the album Cheek to Cheek (2014) with Tony Bennett, and delved into soft rock on the album Joanne (2016).\n

Gaga also ventured into acting, winning awards for her leading roles in the miniseries American Horror Story: Hotel (2015\u20132016) and the films A Star Is Born (2018) and House of Gucci (2021). Her contributions to the A Star Is Born soundtrack, which spawned the chart-topping single \"Shallow\", made her the first woman to win an Academy, BAFTA, Golden Globe, and Grammy Award in one year. Gaga returned to dance-pop with the album Chromatica (2020), which yielded the number-one single \"Rain on Me\". She reunited with Bennett for their second and final collaborative album, Love for Sale (2021), and incorporated industrial dance music on the upcoming album, Mayhem (2025), which contains the chart-topping single \"Die with a Smile\".\n

Having sold an estimated 170 million records, Gaga is one of the world's best selling music artists and the only female artist to achieve four singles each selling at least 10 million copies globally. Five of her studio albums debuted atop the US Billboard 200. Her other achievements include 14 Grammy Awards, two Golden Globe Awards, 18 MTV Video Music Awards, and awards from the Songwriters Hall of Fame and the Council of Fashion Designers of America. She has been ranked among the greatest artists of all time by various publications, and named one of Time magazine's 100 most influential people in the world in 2010 and 2019. Gaga's philanthropy and activism focus on mental health awareness and LGBTQ rights. She has her own non-profit organization, the Born This Way Foundation, which supports the wellness of young people. Her business ventures include vegan cosmetics brand Haus Labs, launched in 2019.\n
