Singer Madonna can be loved or hated, but she's hard to ignore. Changing one after another her image and style of performing songs, breaking numerous stereotypes and taboos, she remains herself - a bright individuality and a unique personality. To find out the name of Madonna's first group, you need to refer to the biography of the singer, not without reason called the "Queen of Pop" by the English press.
Madonna's education
Madonna, or Madonna Louise Veronica Ciccone, was born on August 16, 1958 in the small American town of Bay City, Michigan. In addition to her, there were 5 more children in the large Ciccone family. At the age of 14, while studying at Rochester Adams High School, the girl entered Christopher Flynn's dance class. He was the first person who helped her to believe in herself, in her own uniqueness and beauty.
As a child, relatives called the future pop singer "Little 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 entirely normal - she wore defiant haircuts and outfits. However, she participated in competitions, played in a drama club, and was also a member of a "support group".
After graduating from high school, Madonna entered the University of Michigan, where she received a dance education. 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.
Madonna's first group
In the summer of 1978, 19-year-old Madonna Ciccone stepped off a plane at a New York airport with only $ 35 in her pocket, holding a small suitcase with her dancing accessories. A $ 15 taxi driver took her to Times Square, the heart of Midtown Manhattan. This marked the beginning of the success story of the famous pop singer.
Over the years of her work, Madonna has tried herself in different directions and genres, has become a laureate of a large number of awards, including seven Grammy nominations.
With no livelihood in the American capital, Madonna took a job at Dunkin 'Donuts, a chain of donut restaurants. In order to somehow make ends meet, the future celebrity worked as a dancer in her free time. 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 same year, she created her first rock band with him - Breakfast Club. In it, she played drums as well as guitar. In addition, the singer also acted as a vocalist.
In 1980, she, along with Stephen Bray - drummer and her ex-boyfriend - created a group called Emmy ("Emmy" is one of Madonna's nicknames). Madonna and Bray wrote and produced dance songs that caught the attention of New York nightclubs.
