"When Lady Gaga first came out, her name rang a bell, so I checked my emails - and it turns out that on January 1, 2008, I got an email asking to work with her.

Singer, songwriter and producer, Calvin Harris, has revealed that he turned down the opportunity to work with Lady Gaga because he was busy and "didn't really like the songs."

I thought, 'Lady Gaga, what sort of name is that?' So I replied saying, 'Nah, I’m not into that.' Fast forward a year and she’s the biggest thing. But I don’t regret turning her down as I didn’t think the song I heard then was that good."

Harris is set to work with another American female singer in Katy Perry, although he admits the team-up is not a definite just yet.

Harris said: "I hope that happens. I got an email from Katy saying she liked my stuff. But it’s hard to tell if it will happen.

He told BBC Breakfast that for his new record, 18 Months, he wanted to create an album of his "favourite singers and producers".

"I tend not to reveal things like that because you end up name-dropping and not doing any records with anyone."

I am loving Calvin even more now.

He kept in classy. Such a gentleman.

Originally posted by BoyOnBoy Wonder I didn't report it, but there's already a thread on all this. That's probably why.
