Artists and their styles

In this post I will look at certain artists and identify their specific or unique styles. Their style is what helps to separate themselves to the rest of other artists.

1) Lady Gaga

Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, also known as Lady Gaga, is an american singer and song writer. In Gaga's early days she went to a university in New York, however dropped out to pursue her career in music, where she was noticed by fellow artist Akon who helped her sign a deal with music labels. Her debut album 'The Fame' was released in 2008, and became a hit with songs such as 'poker face' and 'Just dance'.

However Gaga is also very well know due to her unique, yet diverse contributions to the music industry through her fashion, music videos, and live performances. Lady Gaga is renowned for her strange and unusual fashion, which is in fact very smart, as its help to raise her reputation, attracting many fans. For example she decided to dress as a boy when she was a presented at MTV VMAs.

Gaga's music videos are often described as short films. Its also believed that Lady Gaga's music videos centralise around the themes of sex, violence, and power. Therefore her music videos often centralise around the type of 'concept' based music video, as they evolve around one of these ideas. She also try to inspire her audience such as for women to stand up for themselves, and for women to not feel alone. A good example is her video Judas, which shows the idea of power. (video doesn't relate to lyrics - concept)

Live performances is another key aspect for Lady Gaga. She is very well known for putting on a good performance, due to her high energy, entertaining dancing, and as she is a character her self, therefore putting on a good spectacle.
