Gwen Stefani

Gwen Stefani, born Gwen Renée Stefani on October 3, 1969, in Fullerton, California, is an American singer, songwriter, and fashion icon. She gained fame in the 1990s as the lead singer of the rock-ska band No Doubt, which she co-founded with her brother Eric in Orange County, California. The band's third album, "Tragic Kingdom," featured the Grammy Award-winning songs "Hey Baby" and "Underneath It All".

​

During No Doubt's hiatus, Stefani released her first solo album, "Love.Angel.Music.Baby," in 2004. The album combined hip-hop attitude with 1980s-style dance-pop music, and included hit singles like "Rich Girl," "Hollaback Girl," and "What You Waiting For?". The album also introduced Stefani's four-woman Asian backup group, the Harajuku Girls, who were inspired by the fashion of Tokyo's Harajuku district.

​

Stefani made her feature-film debut in Martin Scorsese's "The Aviator" (2004), portraying Jean Harlow. She has since released more music as a solo artist and served as a coach for multiple seasons of "The Voice". In addition to her music career, Stefani has launched her own clothing line, L.A.M.B..
