For a long time she was the most influential pop musician in the world. Her career began in New York, where she once arrived with $ 35 in her pocket.
She has reinvented herself again and again – from “Material Girl” to “Madame X”. And for many years she kept setting new trends: Madonna – icon, artist, rebel.
In the 80s she roamed the New York nights with Andy Warhol, Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat and eventually became a superstar herself. She came to New York in 1978 with $ 35 in her pocket.
She was born on August 16, 1958 as Madonna Louise Veronica Ciccone in the US state of Michigan. She signed her first record deal in 1981 for the single “Everybody”, and two years later her debut album “Madonna” was released. With hits like “Like A Prayer”, “Material Girl” and “Like A Virgin”, the mother of six celebrated world successes as a singer.
Madonna has also left her mark as an actress: she made her film debut in 1985 in “Vision Quest”, shortly afterwards she took on a leading role in “Susan – Desperately Wanted”. In 1991 there was an Oscar in the “Best Original Song” category, with the song “Sooner Or Later” from the film “Dick Tracy”. With her leading role in the Alan Parker musical “Evita” (1996) she won a Golden Globe trophy.
For a while, Madonna was the most influential pop musician in the world. She has sold more than 300 million albums and won 225 awards. Recently, however, her career stalled a little. Her appearance at the ESC in Tel Aviv two years ago was a fiasco: Accompanied by a Gregorian choir, she started her hit “Like A Prayer” there. But the voice sounded pretty thin – and the tones were not infrequently crooked. For this she had to take a lot of ridicule and malice. Her album “Madame X” (2019) also fell short of expectations.
Madonna has a lot to tell – and she likes to have everything under control. She is currently working on a film about her life, which she also wants to direct: “I want to convey my incredible life as an artist, musician, dancer – and as a person who has tried to assert himself in this world,” said Madonna to it.
