Troy Carter’s Career Is Thriving Post Lady Gaga

Getting fired from your job can be devastating, especially if your boss is mega celeb like Lady Gaga. Troy Carter dealt with this first hand when he was let go from his position as Gaga’s manager over creative differences a week before his birthday. “It’s like you wake up and you work with somebody every day, and then all of a sudden they’re not there anymore,” he said in a recent interview. “I don’t think you’re ever prepared to sever that deep of a relationship.”

Carter isn’t wallowing in pity, instead he’s warmly welcomed by top execs at Capitol Records in Hollywood and respected by musicians, managers, lawyers, VCs, entrepreneurs, CMOs. Some of his current business ventures include: working with John Legend, his own soda company, Spotify, Uber, Dropbox and Google.
