One of the most celebrated singer-songwriters of our times and among the best-selling musicians of all time, Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta aka Lady Gaga is an artist in a league of her own. She first rose to prominence in 2008, when her debut solo studio album The Fame took the music world by storm - winning two Grammys and topping the charts globally for several weeks in a row. Since then, there has been no stopping the phenomenon that is Lady Gaga, who has so far won six Grammy Awards and three BRIT Awards besides being honoured with the Contemporary Icon Award by the prestigious Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2015. In addition to these accolades, Gaga has also been nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Song for the track 'Til It Happens to You' (2015) from the documentary The Hunting Ground.
Even as she continues to rule the music world with chartbusting albums like Born this Way (2011), Artpop (2013) and Joanne (2016), Gaga has also enjoyed considerable success as an actress; having won a Golden Globe Award for Best Performance by an Actress in a Limited Series in 2016. She debuted on television with a minor role in the crime drama The Sopranos back in 2001, which was followed by a handful of notable roles in both film and tv. Fifteen years after her debut, Gaga won her maiden Golden Globes courtesy of her performance as the enigmatic Elizabeth Johnson/The Countess in the horror anthology series American Horror Story.
Among Gaga's notable movie credits are the action film Machete Kills (2013) and the neo-noir action crime film Sin City: A Dame to Kill For (2014). In 2018, she appeared in the first starring role of her acting career with the musical romantic drama A Star is Born, which was directed by Bradley Cooper.
