American Idol contestant Pia Toscano, whose early exit from the TV show shocked viewers, has signed a record deal with Interscope Records.
The 22-year-old Toscano, with her dark hair and powerful singing voice, was considered one of the front-runners for the top prize on ‘Idol’ this year. But she was voted off by viewers to finish in 9th place.
Toscano will release her debut single This Time – described as an acoustic guitar and beat-driven track – on July 12, said Interscope Records. She will release her first album later this year.
Toscano described the record deal as ‘a dream come true’. This year’s Idol winner was deep-voiced country singer Scotty McCreery, a former grocery store clerk.
