He said it! He was a nobody when Gaga started working/touring with him. And when Gaga started sharing his songs he started to get some press.. Like when Spectrum became a little hit.

On the list of things that can supercharge a new artist's career, a supportive tweet from Lady Gaga to her 30.2 million followers is right up there.
So on Aug. 22, when she tweeted, "Monsters you need to hear this amazing song by @Zedd," with an iTunes link to his new single "Spectrum," the 23-year-old producer/DJ instantly became a much bigger deal.
Overnight, "Spectrum" -- which features singer/ songwriter Matthew Koma -- shot from No. 23 to No. 10 on iTunes' dance chart and it's stayed in the top 10 since. On Sept. 1, the track hit No. 1 on Billboard's Dance Club Songs tally, and spent two weeks at No. 1 on Dance/Mix Show Airplay. Total downloads are now at 97,000, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
Just based on their debut singles, it's clear Katy didn't need anyone to succeed
"Crazy in Love" feat. Jay-Z
"Just Dance" feat. Akon & that other guy
"Tim McGraw" Taylor doing what she does best since day one, singing about celebrities to advance in her career
"I Kissed a Girl" Katy her own talent was enough
