Lemingheads, Rejoice: Josiah Signs With Warner Bros.!

Posted Sun Mar 23, 2008 2:56pm PDT by Lyndsey Parker in Reality Rocks

You know how they say that when one door closes, another opens? Well, if there was ever any proof that this saying is true, it's the success story of Josiah Leming.

Yes, the American Idol door hit Josiah firmly on the behind on his way out during Hollywood Week, when he failed to make Idol's top 24. But now--according to a heartening report on Knoxnews.com--Josiah's kicked the door at Warner Bros. Records HQ wide open.

Yes, kids: Josiah Leming has reportedly landed a major-label record deal!

Josiah was back in Hollywood recently, playing the Hotel Cafe on March 7, and now it seems he was likely in town (with his newly acquired agent and lawyer) to start wheeling and dealing with Warner. Looks like Josiah's through to Hollywood now, for real.

Knoxnews.com even reports that Josiah, who famously once had to live in his car, just bought his father a new truck to celebrate this good fortune. How cute is that?

Bet Josiah's still crying his eyes out these days, but this time they're tears of joy.

Enjoy this short but sweet clip of Josiah at L.A.'s Hotel Cafe on March 7, and watch this space for more on his upcoming WB album release:

That's freakin' great for the kid--what a way to win the Idol Lottery! Good for him and props to the record label!

I love Josiah!!! He has an amazingly different sound. That is great to hear in an industry where everyone sounds pretty much the same. You go Josiah and make some great records. I know I will be buying them. Good luck!!

I am glad. The other guy that went- I thought was not that good.

I thought it then and still do now that Josiah may be a talented guy but he is still very raw and needs a lot of polishing before he is ready for the big time. Oh well, just my opinion.

Don't feel to sorry for him. He chose to be homeless he could have gotten a job anywhere. I don't feel sorry for him for that. He's still got alot of growing up to do.
