"I don't just impersonate Lady Gaga - I study her. I breathe the music, the fashion, the vision, and I turn it into something intimate, theatrical, and alive." - Nick Gaga
Welcome to my world: a couture-filled, rhinestone-dusted, high-heeled universe dedicated to performance, precision, and pop artistry. I'm Nick Gaga - fashion designer, musical theatre kid turned drag queen, immigrant with a sewing machine and a dream, and the creator of New York City's only free monthly Lady Gaga experience: The Gaga Ball at Balcon Salon.
If Gaga built the stadium, I build the stage where everyone can sit front row.
Welcome to the experience.
I arrived in New York City with two things:
a background in musical theater and fashion... and an obsession with one woman who helped me survive my darkest years - Lady Gaga.
For nearly a deacde, I've studied her movement, mannerisms, construction methods, fabrics, silhouettes, interviews, speeches, facial epressions, choreography - every tiny detail.
Not obsessively.
Professionally.
Because when an audience comes to see Nick Gaga, they expect precision. They expect her - and I honor that responsibility with everything I create.
Yes, it's a little insane.
But so is passion.
Every month at Balcon Salon, I bring Little Monsters together for a fully theatrical Gaga experience - free, because pop artistry belongs to everyone.
I recreate tours, film moments, iconic red carpet looks, deep cuts, transitions, choreography, and entire eras with a small army of dancers, designers, and collaborators who make magic possible.
This is my cathedral.
This is my love letter to the woman who saved my life.
And every month, we bring that devotion to the stage - live, loud, and unapologetically queer.
