Lady Gaga, born Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta (born March 28 1986 with Sicilian/Italian heritage), is an American songwriter, singer, actress, philanthropist, dancer and fashion designer. Born in Manhattan, New York, she was able to sing and play the piano from a young age. She attended the Convent of the Sacred Heart from age 11 where was bullied for her appearance (she was small and plumper than other girls with large front teeth) and eccentric habits.

By the age of 14, Gaga was performing at open mike nights in clubs and bars. By age 17, she had gained early admission to New York University's Tisch School of the Arts.
