Singer Madonna can be loved or hated, but she is difficult to ignore. Changing one’s own image and style of performing songs, breaking numerous stereotypes and taboos, she remains herself - a vibrant individuality and unique personality. To find out what the first group of Madonna was called, you need to turn to the singer’s biography, not without reason called the Queen of Pop music by the English press.
Madonna's education
Madonna, or Madonna Louise Veronica Ciccone, was born August 16, 1958 in the small American town of Bay City, Michigan. In addition to her, the large Ciccone family had 5 more children. At the age of 14, while studying at Rochester Adams High School, the girl entered the dance class of Christopher Flynn. He was the first person to help her believe in herself, in her own uniqueness and beauty.
In childhood, relatives called the future pop singer "Baby Nonny" so as not to confuse her with her mother, Madonna Sr.
At school, the future singer, by her own admission, was not at all a universal favorite. Moreover, she was considered not quite normal - she wore defiant haircuts and outfits. However, she participated in contests, played in the drama club, and was also a member of the "support group."
After graduation, Madonna entered the University of Michigan, where she received a dance education. The ballet teacher, Christopher Flynn, persuaded her to go to New York, because it was there that she could realize her talent as a dancer. The future pop singer followed his advice, leaving the university in late 1977.
The first group of Madonna
In the summer of 1978, the 19-year-old Madonna Ciccone got off the plane at New York airport, having only $ 35 in her pocket, holding a small suitcase with her dancing accessories. A $ 15 taxi driver took her to Times Square, the very center of Manhattan. This marked the beginning of the success story of the famous pop singer.
Over the years of her work, Madonna tried herself in different directions and genres, became the winner of a large number of awards, including seven Grammy nominations.
With no livelihood in the capital of America, Madonna got a job at Dunkin 'Donuts, a chain of restaurants selling donuts. In order to somehow make ends meet, in her free time, the future celebrity worked as a dancer. In 1979, during her performances as a dancer for disco artist Patrick Hernandez, Madonna met musician Dan Gilroy, whom she then fell in love with.
Later that year, she created with her her first rock band - Breakfast Club ("Breakfast Club"). In it, she played drums as well as guitar. In addition, the singer acted as a vocalist.
In 1980, she, along with Stephen Bray - a drummer and her ex-boyfriend - created a band called Emmy ("Emmy" is one of Madonna's nicknames). Madonna and Bray composed and released dance songs that caught the eye of New York nightclubs.
