  2. Getting Started… • Gwen Renee Stefani was born October 3, 1969. • As a child, she greatly enjoyed folk music and The Sound of Music. • When they were young, she and her brother Eric would write songs, their first one entitled “stick it in the hole,” about a pencil going into a pencil sharpener. When Eric asked her to sing in his ska band, “no doubt,” she undoubtedly said yes.

  3. More About Her Childhood… • Most of Gwen’s female relatives were seamstresses, so her clothes were often made by her mother. • She was not one of the “cool” kids in highschool; they called her “Frog” because she was on the swim team.

  4. Music Career: 1st Stage • In 1992, No Doubt released its 1st CD, self-entitled. However, since grunge music was more popular at the time, the album wasn’t a success.

  7. Time To Fly Solo • Gwen’s solo career started out as a dance project, but then turned into singing too. Her first solo album, Love. Angel. Music. Baby. debuted at number 7 on the U.S. Billboard 200 albums and was nominated for Album of the Year and Best Pop Album at the 2005 Grammys. Love. Angel. Music. Baby. involved hits such as “What You Waiting For?”, “Hollaback Girl”, “Rich Girl”, “Cool”, and “Luxurious”.

  8. Gwen’s Next Solo CD • The Sweet Escape, released in 2006, includes more dance songs than her previous album. It includes hits such as “Wind It Up”, “The Sweet Escape”, and “4 in the Morning”.

  12. Why I Chose Gwen Stefani… • Gwen Stefani is a great role model. She’s not like the other celebrities you keep hearing about, who are arrested for DUI, who only weigh 80 pounds, or who are put in rehab. Gwen prefers family to fame and has a style completely her own. She doesn’t care what anyone thinks, and she is overall a great person.
