Renée Stefani (born October 3, 1969), is an American singer,
songwriter, fashion designer, and occasional actress. Stefani
debuted in 1992 as the frontwoman of the Rock band No Doubt, whose
1995 album Tragic Kingdom propelled them to stardom, selling 16
million copies worldwide. It spawned the singles "Just a
Girl", "Spiderwebs", and "Don't Speak".
The band's popularity went into decline with its fourth album,
Return of Saturn (2000), but Rock Steady (2001) introduced
dancehall and reggae production into its music, and generally
received positive reviews. Stefani recorded her first solo album
Love. Angel. Music. Baby. in 2004. The album was primarily
inspired by music of the 1980s, taking Stefani's work further into
pop and dance music, and enjoyed international success with sales
of over seven million. The album's third single "Hollaback
Girl" became the first U.S. digital download to sell one
million copies. Stefani's second solo album The Sweet Escape
(2006) yielded "Wind It Up", a moderate worldwide
success, and the United World Chart number one "The Sweet
Escape". Including her work with No Doubt, Stefani has sold
more than 30 million albums worldwide. In the media, Stefani is
known as a fashion trendsetter. In 2003, she debuted her clothing
line L.A.M.B. and expanded her collection with the 2005 Harajuku
Lovers line. Drawing inspiration from Japanese culture and
fashion, Stefani performs and makes public appearances with four
back-up dancers known as the Harajuku Girls. She married British
alternative rock musician Gavin Rossdale in 2002; they have a son,
Kingston James McGregor, who was born in 2006 and are expecting
their second child in 2008 ... more |
