Reading this confirmed to me that Lady Gaga is the real deal and not just a flash in the pan:
Lady Gaga taught herself to play piano by ear at the age of four.
Prodigious young Stefani Germanotta (her actual name) had already written her first piano ballad by the age of 13. The following year, she was performing at open mike nights in NYC clubs.
At 17, Germanotta’s musical talents enabled her to be one of only 20 students accepted to the Tisch School of Arts at New York University. Less than 3 years later, a major record label signed her as a professional songwriter, setting her up for the pop success that she continues to experience today.
To reiterate:
- She taught herself
- To play piano
- By ear
- A the age of FOUR!!
- She had written her first piano ballad by age 13.
Impressive doesn’t begin to describe it.
She is so talented, original, and creative that it’s impossible to imagine what she’ll be able to accomplish throughout her life.
