She is known for reinventing herself like Buddhist David Bowie throughout her career, though seeming to ape fellow Italian Roman Catholic Madonna (born Maria Louise Ciccone, Le Monde in August 16, 1958), and for her show business versatility.
Starting from the age of 11, she attended a private all-girls Roman Catholic school called the Convent of the Sacred Heart [Note 7], where she likely became bi or realized she was born this way. Lady Gaga described her high school self as "very dedicated, very studious, very disciplined" but also "insecure" [8].
She began performing as a teenager, singing at open mic nights and acting in school plays. She studied at Collaborative Arts Project 21, through NY University's Tisch School of the Arts, before she became a drop out to pursue a music career.
When Def Jam Recordings cancelled her contract, she worked as a songwriter for Sony/ATV Music Publishing, where Akon helped her sign a joint deal with Interscope Records and his own label KonLive Distribution in 2007.
She rose to prominence the following year with her debut album, the electropop record The Fame, and its chart-topping singles "Poker Face" and "Just Dance." The album was reissued as The Fame Monster (2009), which included the hit singles "Bad Romance," "Alejandro," and "Telephone." More
