The X Factor champ Tate Stevens has officially signed his first major record deal.
A Tuesday news release stated that the Season 2 winner signed a deal with Simon Cowell’s Syco Music/RCA Records Nashville and is already writing and recording his major-label debut.
The 37-year-old Stevens, of Belton, Mo., won FOX’s The X Factor last month, earning the title by never finishing worse than second place in voting on Simon Cowell’s reality singing contest show.
The new untitled album will be released later this fall on Syco Music.
