DJ White Shadow discusses working with Lady GaGa on “Born This Way”


DJ White Shadow, who was confirmed to have helped produce “Born This Way” by Lady GaGa on Twitter last month, found time to discuss his work with Lady GaGa on her upcoming album with Billboard.com. He chatted with them about the sound of the new single, and some details about the upcoming album. Check out the interview below!

How did you come to work with Lady Gaga on “Born This Way”?
Gaga was listening to my mixtapes after someone she knew heard me DJ in a club in L.A. One day Gaga e-mailed me and asked me if I made my own beats. I said yes, sent her some, and she hit me back, this time on the phone, asking if I wanted to work with her on some stuff. I said okay.
When and where did you record the song “Born This Way”? How would you describe the sound of it?
She made it. She came up with the idea, she wrote it. She is a genius. We recorded it around the world, on the road, in whatever was available. It sounds like it reads, but not like you think until you hear it.
Did you work on any other album tracks?
Yes. I have been working on this record for well over a year. It has been awesome. Sonically it is much more complex. It’s beautiful. Like a golden spaceship touching down on a rainbow runway in a field of fresh mint.
What are you working on now?
Finishing this record. Making remixes. Listening to yacht rock. The usual.

Thanks GagaNews.com
