Cynthia Ann Stephanie “Cyndi” Lauper (born June 22, 1953) is
an American Grammy- and Emmy-award winning singer-songwriter
and actress. She achieved success in the mid-1980s with the
release of the album She’s So Unusual and became the first
artist to have four top-five singles released from one
album. Lauper has released 11 albums and over 40 singles,
and as of 2008 had sold more than 25 million albums and
singles worldwide.She continues to tour the world in support
of human rights.Lauper was born to Fred and Catrine Lauper
in Queens, New York and raised in Queens.

When Lauper was five, her parents divorced, and her mother
moved with the three children to Ozone Park. Lauper’s mother
remarried, divorced again, and went to work as a waitress
trying to support her children. It was during this time that
Lauper began listening to artists like Judy Garland, Billie
Holliday, Ella Fitzgerald, and the Beatles. Her mother
encouraged her independence and creativity. At the age of
twelve, Lauper learned how to play an acoustic guitar, which
her sister had given her,and she started to write her own
lyrics. She had a great love of art and music and tried to
find ways to express herself. Even at this early age, Lauper
started dyeing her hair different colors and wearing radical
fashions. Lauper was accepted in a special public high
school for students with talent in the visual arts, but she
was held back and eventually dropped out, earning her GED
sometime later. At the age of seventeen, she left home,
planning to study art. Her journey would take her to Canada,
where she spent two weeks in the woods with her dog,
Sparkle, trying to find herself. She eventually wound up in
Vermont, where she took art classes at Johnson State
College. She supported herself by working at various odd
jobs. Feeling homesick, she eventually returned to Ozone
Park.

In the mid-70s, Lauper performed as a vocalist with various
cover bands in the New York metropolitan area, singing hits
by bands such as Jefferson Airplane, Led Zeppelin, and Bad
Company.
