"I always loved rock and pop and theater. When I discovered Queen and David Bowie is when it really came together for me and I realized I could do all three," says Gaga, who nicked her name from Queen's song "Radio Gaga" and who cites rock star girlfriends, Peggy Bundy, and Donatella Versace as her fashion icons. "I look at those artists as icons in art. It's not just about the music. It's about the performance, the attitude, the look; it's everything. And, that is where I live as an artist and that is what I want to accomplish."

That goal might seem lofty, but consider the artist: Gaga is the girl who at age 4 learned piano by ear. By age 13, she had written her first piano ballad. At 14, she played open mike nights at clubs such as New York's the Bitter End by night and was teased for her quirky, eccentric style by her Convent of the Sacred Heart School (the Manhattan private school Nicky and Paris Hilton attended) classmates by day. At age 17, she became was one of 20 kids in the world to get early admission to Tisch School of the Arts at NYU. Signed by her 20th birthday and writing songs for other artists (such as the Pussycat Dolls, and has been asked to write for a series of Interscope artists) before her debut album was even released, Lady Gaga has earned the right to reach for the sky.
"My goal as an artist is to funnel a pop record to a world in a very interesting way," says Gaga, who wrote all of her lyrics, all of her melodies, and played most of the synth work on her album, The Fame (Streamline/Interscope/KonLive). "I almost want to trick people into hanging with something that is really cool with a pop song. It's almost like the spoonful of sugar and I'm the medicine."

Lady Gaga
When Lady Gaga was a little girl, she would sing along on her mini plastic tape recorder to Michael Jackson and Cyndi Lauper hits and get twirled in the air in daddy's arms to the sounds of the Rolling Stones and the Beatles. The precocious child would dance around the table at fancy Upper West Side restaurants using the breadsticks as a baton. And, she would innocently greet a new babysitter in nothing but her birthday suit.
It's no wonder that little girl from a good Italian New York family, turned into the exhibitionist, multi-talented singer-songwriter with a flair for theatrics that she is today: Lady Gaga.
"I was always an entertainer. I was a ham as a little girl and I''m a ham today," says Lady Gaga, 22, who made a name for herself on the Lower East Side club scene with the infectious dance-pop party song "Beautiful Dirty Rich," and wild, theatrical, and often tongue-in-cheek "shock art" performances where Gaga - who designs and makes many of her stage outfits -- would strip down to her hand-crafted hot pants and bikini top, light cans of hairspray on fire, and strike a pose as a disco ball lowered from the ceiling to the orchestral sounds of A Clockwork Orange.
"I always loved rock and pop and theater. When I discovered Queen and David Bowie is when it really came together for me and I realized I could do all three," says Gaga, who nicked her name from Queen's song "Radio Gaga" and who cites rock star girlfriends, Peggy Bundy, and Donatella Versace as her fashion icons. "I look at those artists as icons in art. It's not just about the music. It's about the performance, the attitude, the look; it's everything. And, that is where I live as an artist and that is what I want to accomplish."

Miley Cyrus
She may be young, but Miley Cyrus loves what she does, fearlessly embracing new creative directions every chance she gets. That's the meta-message in ''Breakout,'' her brilliant new Hollywood Records album.
"Breakout" is nothing less than Miley's declaration of artistic independence. Unlike the previous CD, half of which featured her performing as Hannah Montana, the new one is 100 percent Miley. She co-wrote eight of the album's 13 songs and put her stamp on every aspect of production.
Starting with the debut single, "7 Things," Miley establishes she is first and foremost a rocker. Co-written with Antonina Armato and Tim James, the song is pounding rebuke of faithless love, seen through the eyes of an angst ridden teen. Yet the video, directed with restrained simplicity by Brett Ratner ("Rush Hour"), brings out the vulnerability below the surface.
Miley keeps the tempo fast and furious with "Breakout" (co-written by the Go-Go's Gina Schock), a cry for freedom from regimentation (read: school). Even a heartbreak ballad like "Driveway," co-written by Miley with producers Scott Cutler and Anne Preven, pumps up the volume. Miley sings about global climate change on "Wake Up America," but does so in an upbeat way young fans can take in. And dance to.
Don't think you can catch a breath yet, because Miley's take on "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" converts the Cyndi Lauper classic into an iPod-ready anthem. The same goes for "Full Circle," a sparkling rocker with a Spector-esque wall of sound and sensational vocal from Miley, who co wrote the tune with Cutler and Preven. And then there's "Fly in the Wall," a fun and freaky rocker right down to the handclaps and bug-eyed tremolo refrain.
Miley throws a curveball with the gently pulsing "Bottom of the Ocean," a ballad that captures the pain of loss so precisely, it's hard to know how a happy 15-year-old could have conceived it. She keeps that theme going with "Goodbye," a beautiful ballad about a foundering relationship that still feels too alive to be over.
And then there's "Four Walls" and the (ironically) sonically complex "Simple Song," two tracks that push Miley ever further into self-reflection. Normally, kids don't indulge in this level of sophistication, but it became clear long ago that Miley Cyrus doesn't do things the normal way.
Born November 23, 1992, in Nashville, Miley grew up watching her father - country music superstar/actor Billy Ray Cyrus - perform. Soon enough, she caught the acting bug herself. After gaining experience as an extra in her dad's television projects, Miley acted opposite him in a recurring role on his television series, "Doc." She then went on to appear in the Tim Burton film, "Big Fish."
When a 12-year-old Miley first auditioned for the title role of the Disney Channel's "Hannah Montana," she was considered too young for the part, but that didn't stop her from pressing ahead.
Two years later Miley won the part she had worked so hard for, and her ascent to superstardom began. "Hannah Montana's" first season raked in some of the highest ratings ever for a Disney Channel original series.
In November 2006, the first "Hannah Montana" soundtrack came out on Walt Disney Records, featuring eight songs performed by Miley as Hannah Montana. The album shot to the top of the charts and became the first TV soundtrack to debut at #1 on the Billboard Top 200. The set finished the year as the #8 best-selling album, and is now certified triple-platinum.
Then came her 2007 two-disc set, "Hannah Montana 2: Meet Miley Cyrus," featuring ten original songs as Hannah, and ten songs as herself. Miley co-wrote eight of the ten tracks on that triple platinum debut CD, setting the stage for her record-shattering box office take on her 2007 "Best of Both Worlds" tour. She also had the #1 film in the country with the Walt Disney Pictures 3D release, "Hannah Montana & Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert."
Currently, Miley is still riding high with "Hannah Montana," and she is wrapping up work on "Hannah Montana: The Movie," filmed in her hometown of Nashville. The film is scheduled for release on May 1, 2009. The third season of the hit television series "Hannah Montana" will resume production in Los Angeles in August 2008. Miley will also star in Walt Disney Pictures' upcoming animated feature "Bolt," due out November 2008. In the spring of 2009, Miley will release a book sharing her inspiring story, spanning from her Southern roots in Tennessee to the excitement of her record-setting triumphs in TV, music and film.
But as "Breakout" shows, Miley takes singing and songwriting as seriously as any other aspect of her career. And while she certainly has the momentum to carry this and every other project to success, it all starts with the creative spark that burns brightly within her. As she sings so movingly in the song "Full; Circle, which she co-wrote, "There's miles to go but we both know/That we'll make it/I know why."

Black Eyed Peas
2003's Elephunk was a breakthrough album for The Black Eyed Peas, vaulting them to a level of success unparalleled by any other hip-hop group. The accolades are quick to recite: 7.5 million albums sold worldwide, 4 Grammy nominations, 1 Grammy award, and an unforgettable performance on the 2005 broadcast. But fitted with loose rhymes, buoyant anthemic funk and an ebullient live spirit, the album also heralded a new sound for the modern age - one that is inspired by hip-hop, eschews boundaries and inhibitions, and cuts across ages, races and backgrounds. It is a sound that can be described only as One Nation Under A Black Eyed Peas Groove.
But if Elephunk was the group being crowned prince of the castle, then Monkey Business, their fourth album, is The Black Eyed Peas conquering the throne to become King. It is an album that further intensifies their passion for making music together, for connecting with their audience through the most fundamental ways: making people have a good time. It is a credo that has inspired the group since they formed in the late 1990s, earning their keep in the nurturing environment of Los Angeles' vibrant hip-hop underground. Even then, the group possessed a magnetic spirit that helped them establish a worldwide following through their first two albums, 1998's Behind The Front and 2000's Bridging The Gap.
In many ways, Monkey Business is a direct descendant of its predecessor. The success of Elephunk kept the group touring around the globe for nearly 18 months. "In going on the road for so long, we got an idea of what kind of music we wanted to play and make," explains will.i.am. "Monkey Business is very much about the types of songs we play live. It's about a party. It's layered differently and has energy to it that reflects how we tour - from the beats to the types of instruments we used to how we interact with the audience. It's very much about us and the crowd on this record."
Monkey Business was literally produced and recorded during The Black Eyed Peas everlasting road trip. "I was in Brazil doing some CD shopping," will.i.am recalls. "I came across this compilation and I thought it was one thing but it turned out to be something else. The Dick Dale song 'Miserlou,' was on it. At first I was angry - this isn't what I wanted to buy," he laughs. "But then, really, that song is hot. I said, 'we should do a song like this.' I jump-started the computer and made some beats on the train. Then we had to fly to Tokyo and I tightened up the beat on the plane. Then I recorded vocals in this park in Tokyo. And that's how we recorded the song, 'Pump It.'"
The song, a jump-up party anthem, is one of the featured tracks on Monkey Business - and made its debut in a commercial for Best Buy electronics. "It's the beauty of technology now - you can record anywhere, anytime, any which way. And I love that song because it feels like our live shows, it has that energy."
Monkey Business also furthers the bond the group forged as friends during the making of Elephunk. Before recording that album, the three original members of The Black Eyed Peas - will.i.am, apl.de.ap and Taboo - had been ensnared by personal demons. "I remember that we were each talking about the things that were haunting us and seemed to be crippling us," recalls will.i.am. Adding the vocal talents of singer, Fergie, the group used music as a therapeutic vehicle. Making music with that near-desperate fervor also is maintained on Monkey Business, says will.i.am. "You're always challenged not to go back to those bad habits in life," he says. "When you're comfortable living, you sometimes think that, well, I beat it once so I can do it again. But you never really escape the things that haunt you."
Thus, making Monkey Business became an effort put forth by all the members of the group - the first the foursome co-wrote together - and the more sophisticated songwriting; the layered grooves of the record and its fulfilled spirit reflect that. "This was really about all of us building a house together," says will.i.am.
"Don't Phunk With My Heart" is a gripping soulful serenade that will.i.am describes as a sequel to The Black Eyed Peas song, "Shut Up." "Not sonically but in subject matter," he clarifies. "When you're on bad terms with a significant other, you don't want to break up. You tell her things and at the time you really mean them. But she's saying, stop f****ing with me."
If it sounds like the personal lives of the members infiltrated their songwriting, it is mostly because it did. "Don't Lie," is a song will.i.am says was born of true experience of deceptively bending the truth to an ex-girlfriend. "It's a song about owning up and apologizing and realizing your faults. It's about being a man or a woman - an adult - and confronting situations honestly."
Singer Justin Timberlake joins the group again for the song, "My Style." He first sang on the song, "Where Is The Love?," the breakout single from Elephunk. "We get along real well," says will.i.am, "and he sees music in a very similar way. Plus, he's just a good dude." The song was produced by famed beat-maker Timbaland. "I like experiencing things I've never experienced before," will.i.am says. "It brings you out of your comfort zone and that can be creatively inspiring. And Timbaland is an incredible talent."
Other collaborators join The Black Eyed Peas on this album, too, like Sting on "Union." Neo-folk singer, Jack Johnson is sampled on the song, "Gone Going." The Peas also got to live something of a dream when they hooked up with the Godfather of Soul, James Brown, for the song, "They Don't Want Music."
"That was just stupid, man," will.i.am says. "Being a fan of hip-hop and knowing that the music's backbone is based entirely on James Brown - the concept of hitting the beat on the "one," it's an otherworldly experience." The Black Eyed Peas remain one of only a handful of select groups that have been able to collaborate with Funk's inventor. "We met in the UK, at the Mojo Awards, and we talked about working together. I remember when we recorded; I played him the beat all nervous and everything. We all sat in the room and he nodded his head and grunted in approval."
That song is reflective of the Peas' fluid funk that can run from generation to generation - and is one of the reasons why the group is beloved and respected worldwide. "I think the fact that we just have fun with music is the reason why it works for us," says will.i.am. "We love music and melodies and don't try to distinguish ourselves from regular music fans. It's really that simple."
