Lady Gaga pretended to be her own manager when starting her career

[Luzaleja 2,454]

In Alex Banayan's "The Third Door: The Wild Quest to Uncover How the World's Most Successful People Launched Their Career", he talks about various celebrities and how they worked to get their success. To write this book he interviewed Gaga, among other celebrities.

About Gaga:

When Lady Gaga was in New York City trying to launch her career, she had a problem. She was relatively unknown and had trouble getting local venues to book her to perform.

So she used the money she made as a waitress and went to a print shop to make big posters of herself. Then she plastered them right in front of the bars and clubs where she wanted to perform. All of a sudden, the venue bookers took her calls.

But when she wanted to negotiate better set times, she faced resistance. So she called the bars, changed her voice, and said "This is Lady Gaga's manager" and that Gaga onlyperformed at the ten o'clock slot.

It worked.

I found this very inspiring. We already knew Gaga worked really hard to get to where she is, but it's interesting finding these little stories from when she was starting out. Truly a hardworking queen 

I want to buy the book to see what else Gaga had to say, but I'm poor
