Gaga has met with performance artist Lady Starlight during this time and, following a performance at Lollapalooza Festival in 2007 Gaga was signed by Vince Herbert to Streamline Records which is an imprint of Interscope Records. Gaga was an apprentice songwriter during an apprenticeship with Famous Music Publishing. This firm later was acquired and rebranded as Sony/ATV Music Publishing. The result was that she was commissioned to write songs for Britney Spears, as well as labelmates New Kids on the Block, Fergie, 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. Gaga's debut album, "The Fame", was released in 2008 with little radio attention. Gaga went on tour across Europe as well as the US to promote her album. However, it was not until Gaga made her debut with her hit song, "Just Dance", that attention from the public began to come to the music industry.

After a performance in Toronto resulted in her being unable to walk and in considerable pain and in a lot of pain, she was admitted to the hospital for surgery. the tour was canceled.
