Upon the demise of Emmy, Bray and Madonna continued working together writing and performing dance tracks that they performed on the New York club scene. Their demo recordings grabbed the attention of DJ Mark Kamins who gave it to Sire Records founder Seymour Stein. He loved the recordings and signed Madonna on a singles deal to his imprint, a subsidiary of Warner Bros. Her first release was 'Everybody' on October 6, 1982, which failed to break the Billboard Top 100.
