Madonna Biography

Madonna Early Life

Controversial Madonna has etched her mark in music's history. She has achieved remarkable fame during the past 20 years of her career by dominating the music charts, hitting the silver screen and entering the publishing industry. Madonna established herself early as a pop icon and loved being the center of attention.

Being damned and banned by many people and institutions for her shameless self-exposure and naked ambition did little to slow down her album sales. The "Boy Toy" appeared in albums, videos, movies and books with an image of a sex-crazed woman. Often the public preferred discussing her lifestyle and personal life rather than discuss her music. Although Madonna's image today seems to have gone through a metamorphosis, she continues to keep complete control of her music and image.
