Cynthia Ann Stephanie "Cyndi" Lauper (lahir 22 Juni 1953) merupakan seorang aktris dan penyanyi berkebangsaan Amerika Serikat yang memenangkan nominasi Emmy Award dan Grammy Award. Dia berkarier di dunia musik dan film sejak tahun 1977.

Lauper telah menjual lebih dari 50 juta rekaman di seluruh dunia. Dia telah memenangkan penghargaan di Grammy, Emmys, Tonys, Circle Critics Outer New York, MTV Video Music Awards (VMA), Billboard Awards, dan American Music Awards (AMA). [7] Seorang yang dilantik menjadi Songwriters Hall of Fame dan Hollywood Walk of Fame, Lauper adalah salah satu dari sedikit penyanyi yang memenangkan tiga dari empat penghargaan hiburan utama Amerika (EGOT). Lauper memenangkan hadiah Video Wanita Terbaik perdana pada VMA 1984 untuk "Girls Just Want to Have Fun". Video musik ini diakui oleh MTV, VH1 dan Rolling Stone sebagai salah satu video musik terhebat di zaman itu. Ia ditampilkan dalam pameran Women Who Rock di Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Museum. Album debutnya termasuk dalam daftar Rolling Stone dari 500 Album Terbesar Sepanjang Masa, sementara "Time After Time" dimasukkan dalam daftar 100 Lagu Terbaik VH1 dalam 25 tahun terakhir. VH1 memiliki peringkat Lauper No. 58 dari 100 Wanita Terhebat Rock & Roll.

Lauper telah dirayakan karena pekerjaan kemanusiaannya, khususnya sebagai advokat untuk hak-hak LGBT di Amerika Serikat. Usahanya yang dermawan diakui pada tahun 2013 ketika ia diundang sebagai tamu istimewa untuk menghadiri pelantikan jabatan kedua Presiden AS Barack Obama.

Lauper dilahirkan di Brooklyn dari keluarga Katolik. Ayahnya, Fred, adalah keturunan Jerman dan Swiss. Ibunya, Catrine (née Gallo), adalah orang Amerika Italia (dari Sisilia). Saudara-saudara Lauper adalah adik laki-laki Fred (dijuluki Butch), dan kakak perempuan, Ellen. Orang tua Lauper bercerai ketika dia berusia lima tahun. Ibunya menikah lagi dan bercerai lagi. Lauper tumbuh di lingkungan Ozone Park di Queens dan, sebagai seorang anak, mendengarkan artis seperti The Beatles dan Judy Garland. Pada usia 12, ia mulai menulis lagu dan memainkan gitar akustik yang diberikan kepadanya oleh saudara perempuannya.^[2]

Lauper pergi ke Richmond Hill High School, tetapi dikeluarkan, meskipun ia kemudian mendapatkan GED-nya. Dia meninggalkan rumah pada usia 17, untuk melarikan diri dari ayah tirinya yang kejam, yang ingin belajar seni. Perjalanannya membawanya ke Kanada, di mana dia menghabiskan dua minggu di hutan bersama anjingnya Sparkle, berusaha menemukan dirinya sendiri. Dia akhirnya melakukan perjalanan ke Vermont, di mana dia mengambil kelas seni di Johnson State College dan mendukung dirinya melakukan pekerjaan sambilan.^[3]

Pada 1978, Lauper bertemu dengan pemain saksofon John Turi melalui manajernya Ted Rosenblatt. Turi dan Lauper membentuk band bernama Blue Angel dan merekam demo tape dari musik asli. Steve Massarsky, manajer The Allman Brothers Band. Lauper menerima tawaran rekaman sebagai artis solo, tetapi bertahan, menginginkan band untuk dimasukkan dalam kesepakatan yang dibuatnya. Blue Angel akhirnya ditandatangani oleh Polydor Records dan merilis album self-titled pada label pada tahun 1980. Meskipun mendapat pujian kritis, album ini terjual dengan buruk ("It go lead", karena Lauper kemudian bercanda) dan band ini bubar. Para anggota Blue Angel berselisih dengan Massarsky dan memecatnya sebagai manajer mereka. Dia kemudian mengajukan gugatan $ 80.000 terhadap mereka, yang memaksa Lauper bangkrut.

Pada 14 Oktober 1983, Lauper merilis album solo pertamanya, She's So Unusual. Album ini memuncak di No 4 di AS, dan menjadi hit di seluruh dunia.

Lauper merilis album keduanya, True Colors pada tahun 1986. Memasuki Billboard 200 di No. 42. True Colours tidak begitu sukses secara komersial seperti She So Unusual, tetapi memang mengandung tiga single charting tinggi, termasuk judul lagu, "True Colours", yang menjadi lagu kedua Lauper untuk mencapai No. 1 di Billboard Hot 100

A Night to Remember - album ketiga Lauper - dirilis pada musim semi 1989. Album ini memiliki satu hit, single No. 6 "I Drove All Night", awalnya direkam oleh Roy Orbison, tiga tahun sebelum kematiannya pada 6 Desember, 1988. Lauper menerima nominasi Grammy untuk Penampilan Vokal Rock Wanita Terbaik di Grammy Awards 1990 untuk "I Drove All Night", tetapi penjualan album keseluruhan untuk A Night to Remember turun. Video musik untuk lagu album "My First Night Without You" adalah salah satu yang pertama ditutup dengan judul untuk gangguan pendengaran.^[4]

Album keempat Lauper, Hat Full of Stars dirilis pada Juni 1993 dan disambut dengan pujian kritis, tetapi gagal secara komersial, tidak didukung oleh labelnya. Album, yang membahas topik-topik seperti homofobia, pelecehan pasangan, rasisme, dan aborsi terjual kurang dari 120.000 kopi di Amerika Serikat dan memuncak pada No. 112 di tangga lagu Billboard.^[5]

Album kelimanya, Sisters of Avalon, dirilis di Jepang pada tahun 1996 dan di tempat lain pada tahun 1997. Album ini ditulis dan diproduksi dengan bantuan Jan Pulsford (pemain keyboard Lauper) dan produser Mark Saunders. Seperti dalam Hat Full of Stars, beberapa lagu dalam Sisters of Avalon membahas tema-tema gelap.

Pada tahun 2001, Lauper menyiapkan album baru Shine. Album ini kembali ke suara punk-rock awalnya dan menampilkan bintang pop Jepang Ryuichi Sakamoto, dan George Fullan dari Train. Hanya beberapa minggu sebelum rilis dijadwalkan album pada 11 September 2001, labelnya (Edel America Records) dilipat. EP lima lagu Shine dirilis pada Juni 2002, tetapi album full-length dirilis secara eksklusif di Jepang. Album remix Shine akhirnya dirilis melalui Tower Records.

Lauper memulai debut filmnya pada Agustus 1988 di film komedi unik Vibes, bersama Jeff Goldblum, Peter Falk, dan Julian Sands. Lauper berperan sebagai peramal mencari kota emas di Amerika Selatan. Deborah Blum dan Tony Ganz memproduksi film, dengan David Wolff sebagai associate produser. Untuk mempersiapkan perannya, Lauper mengikuti beberapa kelas dalam melambaikan jari dan menata rambut di Sekolah Kecantikan Robert Fiancé di New York, dan belajar dengan beberapa paranormal Manhattan. Film ini gagal dan tidak diterima dengan baik oleh para kritikus, tetapi kemudian dianggap sebagai film klasik kultus.^[6]

Pada tanggal 17 Januari 1999, Lauper muncul sebagai versi animasi dari dirinya dalam episode The Simpsons "Wild Barts Can Be Be Broken", menyanyikan Lagu Kebangsaan untuk melodi "Girls Just Want to Have Fun".

Lauper menderita psoriasis dan telah terbuka tentang perjuangannya dengan psoriasis, setelah muncul dalam iklan untuk Cosentyx.

Lauper telah menjadi pendukung hak-hak LGBT sepanjang kariernya, berkampanye untuk kesetaraan melalui berbagai kegiatan amal dan kebanggaan gay di seluruh dunia. Lauper menyatakan bahwa ia terlibat dalam advokasi hak-hak gay karena adik perempuannya, Ellen, adalah seorang lesbian dan karena Lauper sendiri sangat bersemangat tentang kesetaraan. Lauper mengutip adiknya Ellen sebagai panutan.^[7]
