Gwen Renee Stefani born October 3, 1969 is an American singer
and the frontwoman of the band No Doubt. Stefani was born in
Fullerton, California. Her brother Eric founded No Doubt in 1986
with John Spence, but eventually left the band to pursue a
career on "The Simpsons". Gwen became the group's lead singer
after original frontman John Spence committed suicide in
December of 1987. Following the success of the band's 1995 album
Tragic Kingdom, Stefani became highly popular and recognizable;
the tension this produced with the other members of the band was
touched on by their video for the song "Don't Speak". Many of
the album's songs, including "Don't Speak", were inspired by her
relationship and breakup with fellow band member Tony Kanal. On
September 17, 2002, Stefani married Bush guitarist Gavin
Rossdale. Thus far, her solo career has been most recognized for
a pair of popular 2001 duets, the "Southside" remix with techno
artist Moby and "Let Me Blow Ya Mind" with rapper Eve. In fact,
Stefani became the first artist in history to win both Best Male
Video and Best Female Video awards at the MTV VMA's, for "Southside"
(credited as "Moby featuring Gwen Stefani") and "Let Me Blow Ya
Mind" (credited as "Eve featuring Gwen Stefani") respectively,
both in 2001. Stefani is currently working on a solo record
titled Love Angel Music Baby, scheduled for release on November
22nd/23rd in 2004. Gwen created a sucessful fashion line, named
L.A.M.B, which showcases clothing which Gwen would wear herself.
The line also includes handbags and purses. Girls and young
women who imitate Stefani's distinctive and trendsetting style
of dress are sometimes referred to as "Gwenabees." |
