Unobtainium- this song lead to Lady Gaga calling me her songwriter

in #music7 years ago

When i first wrote this song, and had the first draft with me singing it on Youtube( instead of like now using a proper singer). I was contacted through a sort of gaming/dating website i was on called WAYN. It was 2010 and i had just written and uploaded the first draft of Unobtainium with me playing guitar and singing into my camera onto Youtube.
I was fooling around as 'Daydreams4rock' on a few websites gathering followers and having a lot of fun and was listed on WAYN as Australian Musician Songwriter.
Anyway the first night i uploaded this song, i got a Messenger chat message saying 'She loves it' i started chatting with Stefani Germanotta not knowing who she was, and she called me beautiful and that i am a natural storyteller. We chatted for around 10 mins and she tells me she is Lady Gaga and that she would like to make me her songwriter. I was skeptical and disbelieving and said things like surely she can find better songwriters than me.

Here is the completed song 'UNOBTAINIUM' by Daydreams4rock
with lyrics by me, David Emanuel and Ian Barker lryics and vocals, and guitars by me, David Emanuel. Song produced by JR. Villanueva.

The next day i wrote to Stefani saying i was going to get the song produced and would have a better version up on Youtube soon. Funny i got no answer. I sent a couple of more messages through Messenger over the coming weeks and she was never online to chat with. One night a month or so later when i had the song finished i checked and she was online, so i sent her a message saying the song Unobtainium is finished. She wrote back saying, good name. and that was all. I said you want to hear it and she said she was busy. I told her she seemed much more thrilled about it when i uploaded the first rough recording, and she said she does not know what i am talking about, and how did i get this messenger address. I told her what happened and sent her screen shots of part of our conversation, and she said it was not her and that someone else has access to her account and sometimes posts stuff. I said she must have a nose full of cocaine and should take responsibility for her own account. Anyway that my story of how i was invited to become Lady GaGa's songwriter and i am sticking to it.
