Pia Toscano has recently inked a major recording contract with Interscope Records. The singer, who was surprisingly voted off of American Idol in the earlier rounds, says she’s excited to be working once again with Jimmy Iovine, who was an amazing mentor to her during the show’s run.
Pia had this to say about her new deal:
“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.”
This certainly is a big deal and we’d like to wish Pia all the success in the world. She’s scheduled to tour with the American Idol Tour this summer, which will hopefully keep her name out their in the spotlight. You know what they say about those ex-American Idols and their chances of gaining legitimate singing stardom. . . “Cursed they be!”
