Lady Starlight was a performer Gaga had a relationship with during that time. Vince Herbert signed Gaga to Streamline Records in 2007 after an appearance on Lollapalooza Festival. Gaga signed a music publishing contract with Sony/ATV after having been an apprentice songwriter at Famous Music Publishing. Gaga was hired to compose 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 to a lack of interest from the radio. Gaga went on tour across Europe as well as in the US to promote her album. It was not until Gaga got her first big hit, "Just Dance", that attention from the public began to be paid to the music industry. Gaga was suffering from a Labral tear in her right leg, which she was secretly nursing for several weeks to ensure she could continue the tour. After her performance in Toronto Gaga had to walk and was suffering from severe discomfort. She was taken to the hospital, and her tour was cancelled.
