This is what we’ve been waiting for Forte fans. The BiG NEWS regarding Forte!
At 5:00 Eastern, Forte announced via their Facebook Page, the exciting career path that lies ahead. If you happened to miss it, well here is what Forte Facebook had to say:
You have all been so supportive and patient since we finished our run on America’s Got Talent!
We are incredibly pleased to announce that we have signed a record deal with SYCO/Columbia Records! We have been in the studio working hard on our self titled debut album since the day we left the show to get something ready for you this season. The album is being produced by the incredible Nick Patrick and will be available everywhere November 12th 2013. The lead single “Caruso” will be available digitally (iTunes/ Amazon) this coming Monday, September 30th!
We would also like to announce a special New Years residency scheduled at The Tropicana Las Vegas Dec. 28-30 – visit http://www.troplv.com/ for more info!
ALSO! We are headlining Carnegie Hall on Saturday, November 16 as part of a benefit concert for Kate Winslet’s Golden Hat Foundation supporting those living with autism. Tickets are available starting Friday, October 18. Visit http://www.carnegiehall.org for more.
Stay tuned for updates from our last days in the studio, thank you for your incredible support. We couldn’t be more proud to be apart of the Columbia Records family.

Yes, they are part of the Simon Cowell club. And it looks like you don’t have to win America’s Got Talent to headline in Las Vegas.
I will have more news tomorrow so stay tuned. Cannot wait for that CD to drop. Any guesses or suggestions as to which songs should be included on the recording?
Kudos to my cousins, Paul Mascioli, manger for Fernando Varela and Mike Mascioli for playing an integral part in this exciting musical collaboration. Such a proud family moment!
Of course we are all elated after following
all of Sean’s clues for the last few days
followed by the big reveal today,great to hear about the exciting future in front of them, we wish nothing but the best for them,and will support them always, they are deserving of it..
Beautiful music the children can listen to and learn to enjoy, without embarrassing lyrics,
hope it is far reaching…

Rosa – I am sure there is a wonderful market for their music. Many stellar artists have enjoyed phenomenal careers despite what is going on in the music industry in general. Some pretty disgraceful stuff out there.
Forte is the perfect group for this MasterClassLady site. We celebrate artists of calibre and excellence. Unique artists who are creative and strive for the very best.

Thank you everyone. So pumped by their success.
And as Pam said – they are “beautiful souls with beautiful hearts”. Such a perfect description.
Their CD is going to be unbelievable. I will add more information about the CD as I receive it or when it can be publicized.
For now, it’s just nice to speculate which songs will be included on this wonderful recording

Hey Rosanne! Wonderful blog on this and I could not be happier for anyone than I am for Forte! These guys are human meteors! Think about it – they had their first AGT audition in late June, barely knowing each other after meeting online. 3 months later they are finalists on AGT – and now have a recording contract with one of the best producers there is, are booked for the Tropicana in LV in December and have a big gig at Carnegie Hall in November. Their first ITune single drops Sept 30. All in 3 months? Fasten your seat belts!!! I get a nose bleed just reading about it and following them these 3 months! And it could not have happened to a nicer bunch of guys! Good things still DO happen to good people these days. : ) Please keep us posted, Rosanne, as only you can!

Songs they might want to consider? To start, I think this one would be nice for them, especially the closing (wait for it!):

Thank you KariAnn and Awestruck. Very exciting at my end and these guys are going to take the music world by storm.
The work that went into creating this Forte trio is monumental. Meeting online, then rehearsal frenzies, getting to know one another musically and personally – all of these factors make their success even more astounding. Pure karma and serendipity – or whatever else you want to call it.
Thank you again for your support!!!
