In what may have been the biggest upset of American Idol, early season front-runner, Pia Toscano, wound up coming in ninth place, but things haven’t turned out too bad for the Italian beauty.
Toscano has just signed a deal with Interscope Records, according to The Hollywood Reporter, and will release her debut single, “This Time,” on July 12.
Pia, who has been dating Dancing with the Stars’ Mark Ballas, will also be joining her fellow Idol members on the show’s tour.
“I am thrilled to be joining the Interscope and 19 Recordings family,” Toscano said in a statement.” [Interscope Geffen A&M Chairman] Jimmy Iovine was an amazing mentor during my time on Idol … This is a dream come true.”
