Life and career
1986-2005: Early life
Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta was born on March 28, 1986, at Lenox Hill Hospital in Manhattan, New York City, to a Catholic family with Italian and French Canadian roots. Her parents are Cynthia Louise (Bizett) and Internet businessman Joseph Germanotta, and she has a sister, Natali. Raised on the prosperous Manhattan Upper West Side, he says his parents are from a lower class family and work hard for everything. From the age of 11, he attended the Sacred Heart Monastery, a private Roman Catholic school, all girls. Gaga describes her academic life in high school as "very dedicated, very diligent, very disciplined" but also "somewhat insecure".

He then says his tendency towards music:
I do not know exactly where my affinity for music comes from, but it's the easiest thing for me. When I was three years old, I might be even younger, my mother always tells a humiliating story about myself that sustains myself and plays keys like this because I'm too young to get there. Just go like this at the bottom of the piano... I'm really good at piano, so my first instinct worked hard to practice the piano, and I may not be a natural dancer, but I'm a natural musician. That is the thing I believe I am the greatest.
