Gwen Stefani

Gwen Rene Stephanie is an American singer-songwriter, lead singer of the No Doubt group, and a fashion and accessories designer.

Gwen Stefani has a younger brother and sister, Todd and Jill, and an older brother Eric, who helped the girl develop her talent and gain unprecedented popularity. 

Gwen grew up in a middle-income family. His father, Italian by birth, worked in a marketing hotel for a Japanese corporation. Mom, who rewarded her daughter with a bit of Irish and Scottish blood, first worked as an accountant, and then devoted herself to family and children.

The girl showed musical abilities even in early childhood: she sang at home when her brother Eric accompanied her on the piano. At school, she learned to play the flute, and sang her first song at a school concert.

The future star was fond of drawing, swimming, her mother taught the girl to embroider and sew, which later helped Gwen in her hobby of reworking purchased clothes. She bought outfits in the store and altered them to her taste, creating bright things.

After high school, Gwen graduated from art courses at a local college, then entered the University of California. The future queen of ska, grunge and punk rock was bold, bright and independent in her youth. She did not want her family to pay for her studies, and during her student years she worked in a restaurant as a cleaner, and then as a sales assistant in a perfume store.

Gwen Stefani's biography as a singer began in 1986. Older brother Eric, together with classmate John Spence, organized the ska group No Doubt. Eric was the keyboardist, John was the vocalist, Tony Canal was the bass player, and Gwen was given the role of backing vocalist. The girl did not neglect such a tempting offer, because from childhood she loved the Madness group, which also played ska.

Gwen wrote the first of her songs at the age of seventeen and felt surprisingly happy. Her bright and powerful voice, mezzo-soprano, soon found better use than second vocals. A year after the founding of the group, John Spence committed suicide, and the guys decided to continue his work, the beauty Gwen became the soloist of "No Doubt".

The next to leave the band is Eric, ending his career as a musician. Brother Gwen is as versatile as his famous sister, so he quickly found himself as an animator, creator of The Simpsons. Before Eric changed his profession, "No Doubt" managed to achieve considerable popularity at home, in California, and released two albums.

The first album was released in 1992, the second, "Tragic Kingdom", only in 1995. The guys worked on the second album for two years, recording was carried out at eleven studios. During this time, Eric managed to leave the group, and Stephanie broke off relations with Tony Candal, whom she had been dating for almost eight years.

The breakup was the impetus for the singer's depression and for writing soulful songs dedicated to this personal tragedy. The guys themselves recorded the third album "Beacon Street Collection", which they sold out at their concerts.

In 1995, the long-awaited, long-suffering "Tragic Kingdom" was released, but at first it was not successful. The songs became hits gradually; first the song “Just a Girl” gained momentum, then “Don't Speak” (Dont Speak) and other ballads. The album goes platinum from the unknown, clips are shot for the songs, and Gwen is instantly declared a sex symbol. The record is nominated for a Grammy, and the band's lead singer wins the Outstanding Female Vocalist at the California Music Awards.

In her youth, Gwen loved to shock the audience. She is brown-haired by nature, she always dyed in ashy blond, and her "chips" - bright red lipstick and classic black arrows - emphasize the singer's personality and personal style. At first, Gwen Stefani appeared in the form of a punk rocker, with chains, rivets, then - with a bindi on her forehead, and at the age of 26 she changed herself for the first time, dyeing her hair pink and putting on iron braces on her straight teeth.

Together with the band, the singer recorded two more albums in a new, non-ska style ("Return of Saturn" and "Rock Steady"), and then took up a solo career. In 2000, she released the songs and music videos "Southside" with Moby and "Let Me Blow Ya Mind" with Eve.

Gwen Stefani's first solo disc “Love. Angel. Music. Baby. " was released in 2004. The singer gave preference to pop music in the style of the 80s, and in the recording of the album she was helped by Pharrell Williams, Andre 3000, Linda Perry. The CD was a huge success, and the songs "Hollaback Girl", "Grammy", "Luxurious" and "Cool" became instant hits.

Gwen's fans also fell in love with the video for the song "What you waiting for?", Where the beautiful blonde appeared in the form of Alice in Wonderland. The song "Rich Girl", recorded as a duet with Eve, became the highlight of the album.

The next solo album, "The Sweet Escape", released in 2006, and the song "4 in the Morning" brought Gwen Stefani another Grammy, and in 2009 the singer suspended her solo performances for a new tour of the group "No Doubt". In 2012, the group resumed their activities with the release of the CD "Push andShove".

In 2014, the singer sang a duet with "Maroon 5" the composition "My Heart Is Open" (with this song she appeared at the Grammy 2015), the solo single "Baby Don't Lie" and Eminem's duet "Kings Never Die" which has long dreamed of. 

In March 2016, the singer's third solo album, This Is What the Truth Feels Like, was released.

In 2014, the star accepted an invitation to participate in the Voice show, replacing Christina Aguilera and becoming the fourth judge of the competition.

The talented singer and songwriter Gwen Stefani is remembered for her cameo roles in films. Perhaps the most striking appearance on the movie screen of the beautiful blonde was her participation in the film "Aviator". Gwen played Jean Harlow, and her partners on the site were Leonardo DiCaprio and Cate Blanchett.

The girl also played herself in the comedy with Ben Steeler "The Model Male", in the films and TV series "Dawson's Creek", "Gossip Girl" and "Portlandia". Songs performed by Gwen and No Doubt are performed in 60 films.

After breaking up with Tony Canal, Gwen Stefani met Gavin Rossdale, the leader of the rock band Bush. Six years later, in 2002, the singer's fans finally heard the good news that their favorite was getting married. The wedding was luxurious, and the bride shone in the dress of John Galliano. In the marriage, Gwen and Gavin had three children: sons Kingston, Zuma and Apollo.

The audience enthusiastically accepted the news that the singer was pregnant with her third child, but by this time the musicians' marriage had already cracked. After 13 years of marriage, Gwen filed for divorce. It was rumored that the reason for this was the promiscuity in the connections of the ex-husband of the star.

However, Gwen did not lose heart and began to rebuild her personal life, having not yet received the divorce papers. Blake Shelton, a musician and colleague in the Voice, became her new chosen one.

Gwen Stefani donated a million dollars to help Japanese children affected by the 2011 earthquake. In addition, the singer held a benefit concert and a sale of her T-shirts for the same purpose. A little later, Gwen auctioned off a $ 125,000 evening dress and donated the amount to charity.

In 2003, the singer launched a clothing line of her own design and created the eponymous brand LAMB, named after one of the albums. The collections of the brand include youth clothing and accessories, perfumes, handbags, and the most fastidious celebrities do not disdain to use the products of designer Gwen Stefani.

The singer herself also prefers LAMB clothes, and Stephanie's good taste cannot be denied. She is still not only “her own stylist”, but also applies makeup exclusively with her own hands, without resorting to the services of makeup artists.

In addition, the talented lady has launched the OPI line of varnishes and an eyeshadow palette in collaboration with UrbanDecay.

When looking at the latest pictures on the singer's Instagram, the question involuntarily arises, how old is this girl who looks at most thirty? Amazingly, in 2017, Gwen turns 48, and she is young and beautiful as at the dawn of her career.

A bright singer, mother of three children, continues to create and play novels even after a divorce from her beloved spouse, without losing a single drop of innate charisma, beauty and talent. True, this idyllic picture was overshadowed by the news of a chill between Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton, but perhaps the couple are taking a break from each other, taking a short vacation.
