After spending a year and a half garnering a devoted following from his viral renditions of Billboard hits, 23-year-old Australian singer William Singe announced that he has joined the RCA Records family.
Singe has collected over 200 million combined views on his Facebook and YouTube uploads, sold over 100,000 singles on iTunes, and embarked on a 45-date international tour as a headliner.
Although Singe now calls RCA Records home, his aforementioned feats as an independent act proved valuable at the negotiating table.
“I’m super protective of [Singe],” said Julian Petroulas, Singe’s manager and childhood friend. Singe has been courted by labels for the past year, but “none of the other labels felt right. We knew what we wanted to give up and what we didn’t. Everyone at RCA had the same vision that we did, so it was something we knew we wanted to do.”
Petroulas claimed that Singe’s signing will not deter him from releasing his sought-after cover songs.
