Lady Gaga

Born Stefani Germanotta in New York, Lady Gaga rose to prominence in the late 2000s after a path through the Lower East Side club scene and an early stint as a songwriter for other artists before signing with Interscope. Her music initially blends pop, dance and electropop, with a strong sense of hooks, synthetic productions and a visual aesthetic conceived as an extension of the songs. The Fame (2008), followed by The Fame Monster (2009), establish Lady Gaga worldwide with hits like Just Dance, Poker Face or Bad Romance. Subsequently, Lady Gaga expands her repertoire with Born This Way (2011), introducing more techno-pop and electronic rock, Artpop (2013), more club-oriented, then Joanne (2016), where soft rock, country pop and folk hues appear. In parallel, Gaga develops a jazz side with Tony Bennett on Cheek to Cheek (2014) and Love for Sale (2021). Her career also spans stadium pop, Las Vegas residencies, major ceremonies and cinema, from A Star Is Born to House of Gucci. With Chromatica (2020), Gaga returns to a more direct dance-pop, ahead of Mayhem (2025), another variation on her electronic and pop foundations.
