She was born in New York:
Arguably the biggest star of the early MTV Era, Cyndi Lauper was born in Ozone Park, New York to Fred Lauper and Sicilian Italian-American Catrine Dominique. She has a sister (Elen) and a brother (Frank). At the age of 12, she learned how to play the guitar and started writing her own lyrics. She soon dropped out of high school and traveled to Canada, then returned to New York at a later time.
In the mid-seventies Lauper performed as a vocalist with various cover bands (such as "Doc West" and "Flyer") in the New York metropolitan area, singing hits by bands such as Jefferson Airplane, Led Zeppelin, and Bad Company. In 1977, due to damage to her vocal cords, Lauper took a year off and trained with a vocal coach.
After Lauper got her voice back she returned in 1978 and performed her own material with her band, Blue Angel. In 1980, they released a self-titled album on Polydor Records. Despite critical acclaim, the album "went lead" as Lauper says, and the band split soon afterwards. Lauper filed for bankruptcy and started working in retail stores such as at the New York high-end thrift store "Screaming Mimi's" to make ends meet, but continued to sing cover songs.

I can confirm that Cyndi Lauper is American, as she has a very pronounced, I think, New Jersey accent.

She hails from Queens, New York.
Her record label was located in my building a few years back. She has the most beautiful fair skin.
