John Foster at age 18, runner-up on American Idol, May 2025

just signed with MCA Records (home of George Strait) for a $1 million contract.

He is poised to take Country Music by storm in 2025/2026.

The contract is a ground breaking recording contract and the MCA Label is

confident with John Foster as he is the most-talked about post-idol signings

in recent years. MCA executives said that Foster is not just another rising star

but a generational voice who will lead a new era of country music rooted in

authenticity, faith and storytelling. They said that John has the heart, voice and

the story, everything and they believe country music should be, and are proud to

invest in him.
