From Idol Stage to Nashville Spotlight: John Foster Lands Record Deal with Brooks & Dunn! 🎤
Just days after the American Idol Season 22 finale, John Foster is proving that coming in second doesn’t mean you’re second best. The 18-year-old Louisiana native has officially signed a record deal with Arista Nashville — and he’s not doing it alone. Backing him? Country legends Brooks & Dunn.
Calling him “the real deal,” the duo praised Foster’s pure vocals, his grounded heart, and his throwback country soul. “He reminds us why we fell in love with country in the first place,” they said in a statement that’s already got Music Row buzzing.
Foster’s path to stardom might’ve started on national television, but now it’s taking a new turn — one that leads straight to the studio. With a dream production team and the full support of Nashville’s finest, the countdown to his debut single is on.
For fans who were moved by his emotional Idol performances — especially his original “Tell That Angel I Love Her” — this record deal feels like validation. He may not have won the Idol trophy, but he’s already winning hearts (and airwaves).
One thing’s clear: John Foster’s next stage isn’t a reality show. It’s a career built on heart, heritage, and a whole lot of country soul. And by the looks of it, he’s just getting started.
