Lady Starlight, a performance artist, was introduced to Gaga during this period. Gaga was signed to Streamline Records by Vince Herbert in 2007 following a performance during the Lollapalooza Festival 2007. Gaga was an apprentice songwriter during an time with Famous Music Publishing. This business was later purchased and rebranded Sony/ATV Music Publishing. Gaga was asked to write songs for Britney, Fergie, New Kids on the Block, and the Pussycat dolls. 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. In 2008 Gaga released her debut album 'The Fame' which received lukewarm radio play; Gaga performed in Europe and in gay clubs across the US to promote the album - however it wasn't until her debut single "Just Dance" gained the attention of the public in 2009 that Gaga made waves on the music scene. Gaga suffered a labral tear on her right hip that she was nursing for several weeks in the hopes that she would be able to carry on the tour. The singer was unable walk following a performance in Toronto and was in extreme discomfort. The tour was cancelled.
