Entertainment Weekly reports that American Idol‘s ninth-place finisher last season, Pia Toscano, has signed a recording deal with Interscope Records.
Her first single, This Time, an Ester Dean track, will drop July 12. Her debut album will follow later on this year.
Congrats Pia!
“I am thrilled to be joining the Interscope and 19 Recordings family. [Interscope Geffen A&M Chairman] Jimmy Iovine was an amazing mentor during my time on ‘Idol’ and I’m looking forward to working with him and everyone at Interscope Records and 19 Recordings. This is a dream come true,” Toscano said in a statement.
