NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- "The Voice" winner Cassadee Pope has a new
record deal.
The 23-year-old Season 3 winner signed this week with Republic Nashville,
joining the label's roster of young country stars that includes Taylor Swift and
The Band Perry.
Pope was a member of country music star Blake's Shelton's team on "The
Voice," and won the reality singing contest show last month.
The Florida native has released music before with a band called Hey Monday,
and as a solo artist. She is now managed by Irving Azoff in one of his first
endeavors since leaving Live Nation Entertainment.
A spokesperson says Pope is writing songs for the new album and is meeting
with producers in Nashville.
