Lady Starlight, a performance artist, met Gaga during this time. Gaga was signed to Streamline Records by Vince Herbert in 2007, after a performance at Lollapalooza Festival 2007. Gaga signed a publishing contract with Sony/ATV after she was an apprentice to a songwriter for Famous Music Publishing. As a result, she was commissioned to write songs for Britney Spears and 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. The album that Gaga released in 2008 The Fame received only a little media reception. Gaga went on tour across Europe as well as the US to promote her album. It was not until the 2009 smash "Just Dance" that the attention of the mainstream was given to her music. Gaga suffered from a tear to the labrum in her right leg. She had been secretly nursing for several weeks to ensure she could continue the tour. After a performance in Toronto caused her to be unable to walk and in considerable pain, she was taken to a hospital to undergo surgery. the tour was cut short.
