Priyanka Chopra’s trip to Los Angeles last month to meet Lady Gaga wasn’t just a holiday, it seems. The announcement of her international music debut, soon after her return, makes us wonder if she combined business with pleasure. Troy Carter, CEO of Atom Factory, who manages Lady Gaga, has signed up Chopra to manage her music career across the globe.
Chopra’s worldwide recording agreement is between the Universal Music Group (UMG), the world’s leading music company, and Desi Hits, an India-based music company owned by Anjula Acharia-Bath. As a part of this deal, Chopra will release her debut music album in North America with Desi Hits through Interscope Records and in other international markets on Island Records, UK.
“It has been a long cherished dream, which is finally coming true”, says Chopra about her debut. “I am truly excited to have an opportunity to present my musical dimensions on a world platform. I am privileged to be working with some of the most illustrious names in the music industry. This is a fascinating new experience for me and I am thoroughly enjoying the journey,” added Chopra, a trained western classical singer. Chopra is also writing her debut pop album, which will be in English.
