EspañolKARA DIOGUARDI
'Kara Elizabeth DioGuardi' (born December 9, 1970) is an American songwriter, record producer, and singer who has contributed to long list of internationally successful popular songs. She writes music that is in a light pop-rock genre.
DioGuardi grew up in New England and New York State, and worked in the editorial and marketing departments of Billboard Magazine after completing a political science degree at Duke University in 1993. During this period, she collaborated with recording engineer Jon Wolfson to create independent recordings under the name 'MaD DoLL' (1999-2001).
While her early solo and band efforts did not result in commercial successes, she became a much-sought songwriter, writing or co-writing many international hit songs from 1999 to today (see discography below). The majority of her songs have been recorded by American females (Ashlee Simpson, Ashley Tisdale, Britney Spears, Hilary Duff, Miley Cyrus, Christina Aguilera, Anastacia, Pink, Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton and others) with a significant minority recorded by Australian females (Kylie Minogue, Natalie Imbruglia, Delta Goodrem, The Veronicas and others). She also has a song on Canadian singer Avril Lavigne's third album ''The Best Damn Thing''. She co-wrote twelve of the fourteen songs on Hilary Duff's third studio album ''Dignity''. DioGuardi can also be heard performing backup vocals on some of these recordings. Notable writing collaborators include Greg Wells, John Shanks, Guy Chambers and Steve Morales. As of 2007 DioGuardi is working on future tracks for Britney Spears. The first major song she worked one was the Backstreet Boys ''I Want It That Way'', but it does not appear on the production credits in either the single or the album, Millennium or any other albums that include that song such as
In July 2006, a one-hour VH1 movie for Platinum Weird, a controversial collaboration between DioGuardi and Dave Stewart,[1][2] was aired, accompanied by a three-song EP. The identity of the group was an elaborate hoax. The album was further promoted by a series of bogus World Wide Web fan sites, some of which registered by the New Media Department of Interscope Records and hosted on the same server as interscope.com,[3][4][5] and related false documents for the "lost" group. The album was released in October, 2006.
Also in July 2006, she appeared as one of the judges on the ABC/CBC television show .[6]
The show was cancelled after two weeks. Dioguardi described the series as "quite a disaster", citing poor sound in the broadcasts and confusing promotion. Even her own impression before being hired was that "The One" was to be a dance show rather than a music competition.[7]
