Lady Gaga- Early life

This week I'll be taking on the task of learning more about one of the biggest musical artist of today, Lady Gaga. 


Stefani Germanotta bettter known as her stage name Lady Gaga, was born in New York City on March 28, 1986, to an Italian-American family, the eldest child of Joseph Germanotta, internet entrepreneur and Cynthia Bissett Germanotta. She learned to play piano at the age of four, at the age of 11, Germanotta attended Convent of the Sacred Heart, a private Roman Catholic school on Manhattan's Upper East side, she has stressed many times that she doesn't come from a wealthy background, saying that her parents came from lower-class families. "We've worked for everything."  "My mother worked eight to eight in telecommunications, and my father."  She wrote her first piano ballad at 13 and began performing at open mike nights by age 14.   


At age 17, Gaga gained early admission to the New York University's Tisch School of the Arts and lived in a NYU dorm.  There she studied music and improved her songwriting skills.  Gaga felt that she was more creative than some of her classmates.  By the second semester of her sophomore year, she dropped out of school to focus on her musical career.
