From WENN:

Former AMERICAN IDOL winner LEE DEWYZE has signed a new deal with Vanguard Records.

The 26 year old was dropped from RCA Records in 2011, just a year after he was crowned the season nine champion of the singing competition, but in a video the singer released on Tuesday (15Jan13), he announced he is now with a new label, and plans on releasing his second album in the coming months.

He said, “I feel blessed and honored to be on a label like Vanguard. I don’t think I could have asked for anything better. This is a huge step and a huge leap forward in what’s going to happen. I can’t wait for you all to be there with me. You are all going to be pleasantly surprised when you hear this album.”

Vanguard Records is also home to other notable artists including Chris Isaak, Matt Nathanson and the Indigo Girls. (TD/AWS/KL)
