Melanie Amaro Signs with L.A. Reid’s Epic Records
12:36 pm, January 3rd, 2012
“The X Factor” champ Melanie Amaro has signed a recording contract with Epic Records, the label run by one of the show’s judges, L.A. Reid.
Epic is part of the Sony Music empire, which guaranteed $5 million to the “X Factor” winner.
She’ll also star in a Pepsi commercial set to air during the Super Bowl in February.
Reid is thrilled to have Amaro with Epic.
“I joined The X Factor to be able to discover undeniable talent such as Melanie,” says the music exec. “I am pleased that she is now signed to Epic Records because I believe we have only scratched the surface on uncovering her talent and her inevitable journey to super-stardom.”
During the competition, Amaro was mentored by Reid’s rival judge, Simon Cowell, but Cowell is happy with her new deal.
“We all agreed that Epic would be the right fit for Melanie,” he says. “L.A. made it clear that he wanted the opportunity to work with her and with his track record, you can’t say no to that.”
Amaro plans to spend part of her fortune on a foot massager and a new house for her mother.
