Ten-year-old Winnipeg-native Maria Aragon's cover of "Born This Way" now has more than 17 million views after Lady Gaga herself saw the video and posted a link on Twitter.
WINNIPEG — A Canadian-grown YouTube star is getting attention for more than her vocal skills.
Maria Aragon — the 10-year-old Winnipeg girl whose cover of Lady Gaga earned millions of views on the popular video-sharing site — is in Los Angeles shooting a commercial for Ralph Lauren.
"They're there until Saturday," said Rojuane Aragon, Maria's older sister, when reached by phone in Winnipeg.
Rojuane wasn't sure on the specifics, but said she believes Maria is involved in a magazine shoot with some other children for the fashion label.
Maria travelled to L.A. with her oldest sister, Linger.
The young singer shot to fame last month after online praise from Gaga earned her a whirlwind of media attention.
Aragon's cover of the pop queen's hit "Born This Way" has been viewed more than 25 million times and her story received international coverage, resulting in a duet with Gaga at her Toronto concert and an appearance on Ellen DeGeneres' Los Angeles-based talk show.
Rojuane said her sister has had some interest from the music industry, but no decisions have been made yet.
When the young singer gets back to Winnipeg on Saturday, it'll be just in time for spring break.
But there won't be any interviews on the agenda: "She just wants to relax," said Rojuane.
