From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia Kara Elizabeth DioGuardi (born December 9, 1970) is a songwriter, record producer and singer from New York City who has contributed to numerous popular songs since the 1990s.
After completing a political science degree at Duke University, DioGuardi worked in the editorial and marketing departments of Billboard Magazine from 1993 while pursuing a singing career. During this period, she collaborated with recording engineer Jon Wolfson to create independent recordings under the name MaD DoLL (1999-2001).
While her solo and band efforts did not result in major commercial successes, she became a much-sought songwriter, writing or co-writing hit songs for Kylie Minogue ("Spinning Around"), Céline Dion ("Right In Front of You"), Enrique Iglesias ("Escape"), Kelly Osbourne ("Shut Up"), Ashlee Simpson ("Pieces of Me") and many others. DioGuardi can also be heard performing backup vocals on some of these recordings. Notable writing collaborators include John Shanks, Guy Chambers and Steve Morales.
