Gwen Stefani was a music icon and role model for anyone who grew up in the ‘90s.

After a phenomenally successful career in music spanning nearly three decades, Stefani joined season seven of the hit reality singing competition, The Voice as a coach. The 47-year-old is a household name thanks to her supreme talent, killer good looks, and impeccable fashion sense. Since she has so many claims to fame, it’s difficult to keep track of Stefani’s success as a singer-songwriter, fashion designer, and businesswoman.

There’s “No Doubt” about Her Talent
The California native was raised in a Roman Catholic household and has an elder brother named Eric, who was also a member of No Doubt. She also has two younger siblings, Jill and Todd Stefani. Gwen Stefani’s father was a marketing executive and her mother was an accountant-turned-homemaker who took care of her children. Stefani first rose to prominence as the co-founder and lead singer of No Doubt, which spurned dozens of hit singles like “Don’t Speak,” “Hey Baby,” and “Just a Girl,” that are widely played, even today. Stefani’s mass appeal helped her launch a solo career when No Doubt went on hiatus and, in 2004, she dropped her debut solo album, Love. Angel. Music. Baby.
