ABC News Radio reports that Season 10 finalist, Pia Toscano HAS signed a deal with Interscope Records.
Antonina Armato of the production team Rock Mafia — who worked with all of the finalists this past season on Idol — tells ABC News Radio, “[Pia] just got signed to Interscope. We just finished a song with her called ‘Counterfeit, ‘ which is phenomenal…and we did another song for her as well.”
The other song is called “Dreamgirl, ” but Armato and partner Tim James aren’t sure if that tune will appear on Toscano’s album. As for “Counterfeit, ” Armato says Pia sang it “amazingly.”
“They just made the decision a few days ago to actually pull the trigger to sign the deal, ” she explained. “They have to decide…I guess there’s a certain amount of days after American Idol, where you decide, if you’re not the winner, if they’re actually going to get a record deal.”
ETA: Nevermind. Pia will probably sign with Interscope and 19R. I’m not sure why she has to wait, in that case.
