She does not only write and sings songs – but she is also an actress, fashion designer and perfumer, and quite a style icon. She is a wife of a famous rock star and a happy mother of one and a half year old son. She broke the world record with a total of 30 million copies, and the inevitable reunification of the once famous band No Doubt Gwen will certainly become an event .Nevertheless, on the musical pedestal this star shines long, stubborn and brighter than many others. Moreover there is a suspicion that this is only the beginning! 

Gwen Renee Stefani was born on October 3, 1969 in California. Gwen got her name out of one of the best movies of all time the bestselling “Airport” Arthur Hailey and her unusually bright appearance – for the traditional American mixture of blood (Italian, Irish and Scottish).Her family carries considerable responsibility for the both occupations of the future superstar: parents from her early childhood taught her songs from musicals and traditional American folk music. Most of the Gwen’s outfits were made by her mother. As a consequence, Stephanie made her stage debut with the song from the musical “The Sound of Music” in self-cut tweed dress inspired by the eponymous film. Not to mention that Gwen has a sister and two brothers, the eldest of whom, Eric, also participated in the development of Gwen’s career. It was he who suggested her sister to take a seat at the microphone of his band No Doubt, which is destined to become the most successful composition in the history of the genre ska.

In reality it didn’t begin so well: in the second year the team one of its founders, who shared Gwen duties as vocalist John Spence committed suicide, and No Doubt – the first and not the last time – was on the verge of collapse. Fortunately for her and the entire music industry, musicians did not jump to conclusions and decided to give a chance to her second vocalist Gwen, who at that time began to date with bassist Tony Kenalom. There relationship extended for over several years, this relationship brought Gwen much suffering, but in the end, they made No Doubt world stars. Released in 1995 album «Tragic Kingdom» was dedicated to the novel between Gwen and Tony, but the crucial one and the only tearful ballad about their breakup. Ballad was called «Don’t Speak», and very soon it could be heard from every window, having spent 16 weeks at the top of the national U.S. charts and providing «Tragic Kingdom» one of the records in the history of pop music editions, over 16 million copies. Further it became a matter of technique: the success was so huge, that inspired him, Stephanie and Ken found the strength to maintain a professional relationship even after their whirlwind romance. Also in the same 95-m Gwen met with the leader of the wildly popular at the time the rock band Bush Gavin Rossdale.
