‘X Factor’ Winner Stevens Signs Record Deal

“The X Factor” champ Tate Stevens has signed a record deal.

A Tuesday news release says the Season 2 winner signed a deal with Syco Music/RCA Records Nashville and is already writing and recording his major-label debut.

The 37-year-old Stevens, of Belton, Mo., won “The X Factor” last month, earning the title by never finishing worse than second in voting on Simon Cowell’s reality singing contest show.
