From the beginning, things with her were different. "My relationship with Lady Gaga goes beyond just professional. She's part of my family — my chosen family."
"My relationship with Lady Gaga goes beyond just professional. She's part of my family — my chosen family."
With Lady Gaga, Aspiras has been able to check off every item on his career bucket list. He's done the hair and makeup for celebrities, editorial, TV, film, music videos, and red carpets, to name a few. "I finally feel like I've met my creative match," he says. "She's completely challenged me, every single time."
Now whether it's for the Met Gala, the Oscars red carpet, a critically acclaimed movie like "House of Gucci" (of which he was Oscar nominated in the best makeup and hairstyling category), or a new music video, Aspiras gets to do what he loves. "When I create something for Gaga, it's something that I create that is personal. That is for her."
It's not lost on Aspiras how fortunate he is, but his success has nothing to do with luck. He faced countless no's and "failures" but says, "I never stopped opening doors."
