An 11-year-old Winnipeg girl who went from YouTube to playing with Lady Gaga now has a record deal in her family's homeland.
Maria Aragon is in the Philippines to record an album, make appearances and is slated to record a song to be used in a Filipino movie.
Maria first shot to fame with her YouTube rendition of Lady Gaga's song "Born This Way."
Lady Gaga was so impressed that she retweeted a link to the video which went on to get more than 11million hits in just one week.
Maria then went on to perform for Ellen DeGeneres, Prime Minister Stephen Harper and his wife and Prince William and Kate.
Her father says she had to cancel some appearances in Canada in order to go to the Philippines, including singing at a Winnipeg Blue Bombers football game.
