[[File:ColbyGaga2008.jpg|thumb|Lady Gaga with [[Colby O'Donis]] in a recording studio.]]In January, Lady Gaga had a goodbye party with her lowersides friends of New York the night before and someone from the label picked her up from the bar to the airplane. She then met [[RedOne]] in the studio and still hungover, she wrote ''[[Just Dance (song)|Just Dance]]'' in ten minutes as "a happy record". In a week, they wrote together ''[[Poker Face (song)|Poker Face]] ''and ''[[LoveGame (song)|LoveGame]]''. After that, she signed a recording deal with Interscope and began officially the production of her debut album.

−

Also in January, she was sent to write songs with [[Akon]] for Tami Chynn, an artist signed to Konvict Muzik in Atlanta. For the first time, Akon recognized her vocal abilities during her singing of a reference vocal to one of his tracks in the studio.

−

: ''"When we were working, Akon would say, 'Get in the booth and cut these vocals,' and he'd always tell me I could really sing. So he decided he wanted to be a part of my music,"'' Gaga said about working with Akon, who ultimately convinced Interscope-Geffen-A&M Chairman and CEO Jimmy Iovine to sign her to a joint deal with Konlive. ''"He spoke to Jimmy, and we decided to become a big family."'' '''—Lady Gaga'''

−

As a result, she was commissioned by Interscope to write for labelmates New Kids on the Block with RedOne, Nicole Scherzinger's solo album and the Pussycat Dolls with [[Darkchild|Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins]] and some others with Akon. Two of hers songs was picked by Britney Spears and recorded but only one was released, Quicksand as a bonus track in Europe. Gaga also joined the roster of Cherrytree Records, an Interscope imprint established by producer and songwriter [[Martin Kierszenbaum]], after co-writing four songs with Kierszenbaum. He also introduced Space Cowboy to Gaga and the two became friends. She began to work with a collective called the Haus of Gaga, who collaborate with her on her clothing, stage sets, and sounds. On 8 April, Just Dance was released as the lead single for her debut album, [[The_Fame_(album)|''The Fame'']]. The [[Just Dance (music video)|music video]] of the song was shot on the 28th. For about a year, she hustled the radio and television to get her single played. In May, Martin Kierszenbaum introduced Space Cowboy to Gaga and the two become friends instantly.

−

: “''Nobody knew who she was, she was just starting up, and we spoke on the phone, we got on really, really well — it was amazing! We figured out that we shared pretty much the same experiences; we’d been doing similar things on opposite sides of the Atlantic. Then I got invited to the studio to write some songs with Lady Gaga; we did “[[Starstruck (song)|Starstruck]]”, we did a song called “[[Christmas Tree (song)|Christmas Tree]]” She’s super-creative, she’s amazing — the best writer I’d ever seen, and best performer.''” —'''Space Cowboy'''

−

In May, Gaga began a [[Concerts in 2008|promo and club tour]] worldwide that lasted five months. She worked with a couple of [[Haus of Gaga|female dancers]] and [[DJ VH1]] on her live set. In June, [[Space Cowboy]] took the position of DJ. Also in June, the [[Transmission Gagavision]] started as weekly webisode featuring Gaga and her staff and traced their adventure around the world.

Michael Schwandt, the choreographer of the competition, is a big fans of her and suggested Gaga to the organization in order to replace a big band. A month later on the 19th, her debut album, ''[[The Fame (album)|The Fame]]'' was first released in Canada. A short film was also released to promote her music, [[The Fame: Part One]]. ABC channel asked Gaga to create a music video for [[Beautiful, Dirty, Rich (music video)|Beautiful, Dirty, Rich]] in order to promote the new season of Dirty Sexy Money. It was released as a promotional single from the album on September 16, 2008. The two months after, she went on her first ever concert tour with fellow Interscope pop group, the reformed New Kids on the Block. Gaga started her stint with New Kids on the Block in Los Angeles on October 8, and continued through the end of November. She appeared as a featured guest on the song "[[Big_Girl_Now_(song)|Big Girl Now]]" from their new album, The Block. The second single, [[Poker Face (song)|Poker Face]], was released on September 23, 2008, and has reached number one in nearly twenty countries, including almost all major music markets in the world.
