American Idol contestant, Pia Toscano, has signed a record deal with Interscope.
Just 24-hours after her shocking elimination from Idol back in April, we reported that Interscope was interested in signing Toscano, and now it’s official. She will release her debut single, “This Time,” on July 12.
Toscano will perform the song during the American Idol Live! Tour, which kicks of July 6 and runs through September 10. She will continue to work on her debut album, which is due out later this year.
“I am thrilled to be joining the Interscope and 19 Recordings family. 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.
