Going Gaga for Lady Gaga

Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, AKA Lady Gaga, is an American recording artist turned international music sensation. The 24-year-old musician began performing in the rock music scene of NYC's Lower East Side after dropping out of NYU's prestigious Tisch School of the Performing Arts. In 2007 she signed with Streamline Records (an imprint of Interscope Records). Her seemingly overnight rise to fame began with her aptly titled debut album, "The Fame," released in August of 2008.

Gaga's eccentric performances - complete with over-the-top costumes and sets, as well as her glam rock and pop infused music have allowed Lady Gaga to explode onto the contemporary music scene; the artist has sold 10 million albums, plus 35-million singles worldwide.

The Overlook Press recently published the starlet's biography, titled "Lady Gaga: Behind the Fame." Written by Emily Herbert, the book profiles the NYC-born Lady Gaga, a dynamic and talented go-getter who has said,

"I make music and art and design all day long. Yes, I wash my face and go to sleep but when I wake up, I am always Lady Gaga."

Overlook Press publicist Leslie Brandon describes Lady Gaga as "an Upper East Side girl with a downtown attitude." The former outcast has become a fascinating spectacle - skyrocketing to the top of the music charts, charming the pants off the fashion world and securing her place in pop culture history.

"Lady Gaga: Behind the Fame" contains 23 pages of color photographs and details Gaga's inspiring journey from student to superstar, from Stefani Germanotta to Lady Gaga: Classically trained on the piano since age 4. Other highlights of the biography include Gaga's high school experiences with Paris and Nicky Hilton, her meeting and performing for the Queen of England, discussions of gay rights, as well as Gaga's riotous loyal fan base, which the star affectionately calls her "little monsters."
