At seventeen, she was admitted to New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts to study music, though she dropped out after a few months. Plump and with long brown hair, she began her career singing melodic songs on the piano in clubs and small places in New York. Nothing foreshadowed that shortly after we would be facing a global icon.

She is recognized as an actress.After the immense successes of “ARTPOP” and “Cheek to Cheek”, there is no question of rushing to a new album. She wants to take her time, and she takes the opportunity to fix her attention on the world of cinema and television.
