lady gaga
Lady Starlight, a performance artist, met Gaga at this time. Gaga was signed to Streamline Records by Vince Herbert in 2007 after a performance at Lollapalooza Festival 2007. As an apprentice songwriter for an internship at Famous Music Publishing, which was later acquired by Sony/ATV Music Publishing, Gaga later signed a music publishing deal with Sony/ATV. The company then hired her to write music for the likes of Britney Spears, labelmates New Kids on the Block and Fergie. At Interscope, singer-songwriter Akon recognized her vocal abilities when she sang a reference vocal for one of his tracks in studio; Akon then convinced Interscope-Geffen-A&M Chairman and CEO Jimmy Iovine to form a joint deal by having her also sign with his own label Kon Live, making her his "franchise player. The album that Gaga first released, "The Fame", was released in 2008 to little media attention. Gaga then toured Europe and performed in gay clubs in the US to promote the album. Gaga made her debut on the music scene in 2009 with her smash hit single "Just Dance". Gaga was suffering from a laceration to the labrum in her right hip. She had been secretly caring for it for several weeks so that she could continue the tour. Following her show in Toronto Gaga became unable to walk and in great pain. She was admitted to the hospital, and her tour was cancelled.
