Washington, July 10 (ANI): Lady Gaga wants to ?assimilate pop music into performance art? and make that mainstream in the music industry.

The ?Born This Way? hitmaker, who is famous for her on-stage performances and eccentric outfits as well as her singing voice, has always felt that keeping up performance art has been important to her.

"When I was really young, I was fascinated with performance artists ? Leigh Bowery, Klaus Nomi. And when I got older I became fascinated with Yoko Ono and Marina Abramovic," Contactmusic quoted her as telling the Guardian.

"I grew up with them, and sort of naturally became the artist I am today. It wasn?t until I started to play out in New York and my friends said, ?Look how much that has influenced you?, that I realised it.

"The one thing there wasn?t on the Lower East Side was pop music. So as a pop songwriter, I thought that would be an interesting way to make a name for myself in this neighbourhood.

I figured I could play the grocery store around the corner as if it was Madison Square Gardens, maybe some day I can assimilate pop music into performance art in a more mainstream way," she added. (ANI)
