Deconstructing Lady Gaga• Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta (26),
known by her stage name Lady Gaga, is an American singer and songwriter, from New York.
• She began performing in the rock music scene of Manhattan's Lower East Side, and was signed with Streamline Records by the end of 2007.
• During her employment as a songwriter for the record company, her vocal abilities captured the attention of recording artist Akon, who signed her to his label Kon Live Distribution.
• Lady Gaga invented herself, fashioning her oversized persona out of a mix of high and low culture; drag queens and heavy metallers, pop stars and random provocateurs.
• Unlike Madonna, pop history's other great appropriator, Gaga, wears her influences proudly: She's smarter than the average pop star. Better read. More extensively travelled. Deeper. And she wants you to know it.
