Lady Gaga in New York City

Lady Gaga is an Italian + French-Canadian New Yorker with downtown performance artist style who makes extremely danceable pop records. She is one of the biggest pop stars of the last decade, an LGBT icon, and a major touring force.

Gaga has the ability to be outrageous one moment and mainstream the next, with equal mastery and joy.

Sunday, January 26, 2020 ~ The film version of “I’ll Never Love Again” won Best Song Written for Visual Media at the 62nd Grammy Awards.


Lady Gaga was Born This Way

Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta was born in the Upper East Side on March 28, 1986. She grew up in the Upper West Side.

As a teenager, she started hanging around the Lower East Side nightlife scene and started working with performance artist Lady Starlight.

There is no connection other than style, but Lady Gaga’s persona looks like she came out of the performance art world surrounding famed New York art dealer Jeffrey Deitch during those years. It’s a gender-bending, sometimes shocking style that makes meaningful social commentary like performance art.

Gaga is adored by the Gay community. She is an LGBT rights activist. Somehow Lady Gaga is part of the coming out of the LGBT community into mainstream acceptance that occurred in the last decade.
