About Lady Gaga
Lady Gaga is the recording name of Stefani Germanotta, whose early work developed around New York's club scene. Her 2008 debut The Fame established a catalog of theatrical dance-pop, followed by the darker textures of The Fame Monster and Born This Way. Joanne and A Star Is Born give piano, band arrangements and sustained vocal performances more room. Later records return to electronic dance settings while retaining collaborations with singers including Ariana Grande and Bruno Mars.
