Lady Gaga
Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta is better known as Lady Gaga. The pop sensation made a name for herself with her visual experimentation and catchy pop hits. We adore her! You might not know that she has worked as a songwriter for artists like Fergie, Britney Spears, The Pussycat Dolls, and Britney Spears. We daresay she deserved her big break after helping these celebrities with their careers! She released The Fame, which contained her songs “Just Dance” and “Poker Face”, in 2008. It bagged the top spot of the charts in the United States, Canada, and parts of Europe.
Nana Mouskouri
If you are not from Europe, this might be the first time that you hear of this talented musician. The Greek singer Iōánna Moúschouri, better known as Nana Mouskouri, is one of the best-selling musicians on the planet. She has released 200 albums and singles in 12 languages! How impressive is that? Anyway, she first made it big when she sang “The White Rose of Athens”. It was recorded in the German language even though it was an adaptation of a Greek song. She mostly works in genres like Greek folk, pop, jazz, and folk. Give her a listen if you haven’t yet!
