MADONNA

Madonna Louise Ciccone was born on 16th August 1959 in Michigan,

the state where she lived during her childhood and early adolescence.
Madonna, whose mother died when she was only six years old, had a rather
unhappy family life. Her father married again, creating a situation which
Madonna tried in every way to change, but without success.
She gradually became very involved in her passion for cotemporary
dance. She won a scholarship to study dance at the University of Michigan,
where she met Steve Bray, a black musician, who wrote several songs for
her album “Like a Virgin”. Long after her relationship with Steve Bray had
finished she remained very good friends with him.
In 1982 she made her first single, “Everybody”. It was a great
success and it was this record that started her on the rapid rise to fame.
Perhaps the song which has had most success so far is “Into the Groove”,
which she made in 1985. Apart from singing she has also appeared in
several films, of which the most successful is “Desperately Seeking Susan”.
