Gaga has met with performer Lady Starlight during this time and, following a performance at the Lollapalooza Festival in 2007 Gaga was signed by Vince Herbert to Streamline Records, an imprint of Interscope Records. While working as an apprentice songwriter for an internship at Famous Music Publishing, which was later purchased by Sony/ATV Music Publishing, Gaga then signed a publishing deal with Sony/ATV. 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. Gaga's first album, "The Fame", was released in 2008, with very little public attention. Gaga then toured Europe and performed at gay clubs in the US to promote the album. Gaga made her debut on the scene in 2009 with her smash single "Just dance". Gaga suffered a labral tear on her right hip, which she had been nursing secretly for a number of weeks in hopes that she would be able to continue her tour. She was unable to walk after her show in Toronto and was suffering from severe pain. The tour was cancelled.
