2. When and how did her career begin?
Born and raised in Manhattan, Gaga initially
performed in theatre, appearing in high school plays
and studied at CAP21 through New York University's
Tisch School of the Arts before dropping out to pursue
a musical career. After leaving a rock band,
participating in the Lower East Side's avant garde
performance art circuit, and being dropped from a
contract with Def Jam Recordings, she worked as a
songwriter for Sony/ATV Music Publishing. There,
Akon noticed her vocal abilities and helped her sign a
joint deal with Interscope Records and his own
KonLive Distribution.
3. Who creates her outfits and tour
concepts?
She dreams up all the concepts herself, acting very
instinctively and occasionally going against the
recommendations of her team. She does occasionally
take direction from stylists in terms of outfits, but she
still has the most say in all the decisions.
The Haus of Gaga actually creates all her ideas. The
Haus creates most of the clothing, props, stage sets,
and makeup for Gaga's live performances and other
visual representations of her work, as well as
individual pieces that artistically represent the style
and themes emphasized by Gaga
4. How is this funded?
There is no information on the internet, but I have
inferred that it is funded by proceeds from her
tours and album sales.
5. Lady Gaga’s fans
Her fans call themselves ‘Little Monsters’. While
working on her second album, Gaga developed the
theme of monster, both in physical form, and to
describe her inner fear (Monster of death, alcohol,
drugs, etc.). During the summer of 2009, she first
started to use the name during her live
performances to refer her fans. They have their
own website, with the opening “Welcome home,
little monsters.”
7. What sort of views does she have on
the world? How do fans react?
Gaga appeared at Europride, a pan-European
international event dedicated to LGBT pride,
held in Rome in June 2011. She criticized the
intolerant state of gay rights in many European
countries and described homosexuals as
"revolutionaries of love".
Her fans would react positively to this view
because much of her fan base is the gay
community.
