She’ll be managed by the same man who looks after Lady Gaga!
Top Bollywood actress Priyanka Chopra has signed a deal to record her first music album and will be managed by the man behind pop mega star Lady Gaga.
Universal Music Group and Desi Hits! said in a statement that they had brokered a worldwide recording agreement with Priyanka and she was already writing and recording a pop album in English.
Her foray into the global music scene – a first for a Hindi film star and a sign of an increasingly outward-looking trend in the industry – will be overseen by Troy Carter, chief executive of LA-based Atom Factory.
“It has been a long-cherished dream which is finally coming true. I am truly excited to have an opportunity to present my musical dimension on a world platform,” Priyanka told AFP. “This is a fascinating new experience for me and I am thoroughly enjoying the journey.”
Desi Hits!, set up in 2007 and with offices in New York, London and Mumbai, is a media and entertainment company that specialises in ‘east-west fusion’ and is currently working on bringing Gaga to India.
The company will release Priyanka’s album in North America through Interscope Geffen A and M Records, part of the Universal Music Group, and in international markets through Island Records UK.
