Pia is happy to be recording in Nashville, a place she’s called home since 2021, even marrying her husband there in 2024. Says Toscano of the signing and new recordings, “I’m incredibly excited to be releasing this next chapter of music with Melody Place. After years of navigating this industry, it feels so good to finally have a team that is fully invested… not only in the music, but in me as an artist and person. There’s something really powerful about being surrounded by people who believe in your vision as deeply as you do, and I can’t wait for everyone to hear what we’ve been creating together.”
Sandy McGraw, President/General Manager of Melody Place says, “Pia Toscano is one of the greatest vocals talents alive today. Anyone who’s ever seen her perform would agree with that. At Melody Place, we’re always striving to surround ourselves with the most talented people in the room. We’ve now done that… Pia is not only talented, but also genuinely kind, she has so much love and thoughtfulness to share with the world, so it’s exciting to help her write this next chapter and allow the world to hear the amazing new music and direction she’s going.”
Pia wrote “Redirected” with Stacey Kelleher and the song holds special meaning for her. Pia explains, “Redirected’ was born from a phrase I’ve repeated to myself for years… ‘Rejection is God’s protection.’ Every time something I deeply wanted and prayed for didn’t work out, I would tell myself it was simply redirection… a way to soothe my soul and trust there was something greater ahead. Writing this song with Stacey Kelleher made me realize that what I thought was self-comfort was actually faith. The closed doors, heartbreak, and unanswered prayers weren’t setbacks at all… they were part of the plan all along. “Redirected” is about surrendering control and trusting that sometimes the life you’re meant for begins the moment your original plan falls apart.”
About Pia Toscano
Pia Toscano is a powerhouse vocalist celebrated for her emotionally charged performances and dynamic range, with a voice often compared to the legendary talents of Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, Celine Dion, and Etta James.
She first rose to national prominence as a standout contestant on Season 10 of “American Idol,” where she quickly emerged as a frontrunner. Her striking vocal command and magnetic stage presence made her a fan favorite, and her early elimination remains one of the most surprising moments in the show’s history. Undeterred, Toscano turned that momentum into a flourishing career.
Pia has toured extensively with the “American Idols Live! Tour” and international superstars like Jennifer Lopez, performing in her acclaimed Las Vegas residency All I Have. Beyond the stage, Toscano has become a trusted collaborator for music legends like David Foster and Andrea Bocelli, with whom she frequently tours across the globe. In 2021, she released her holiday debut Christmas With You, which topped the charts in its category and showcased her timeless vocal style. In Fall 2022, Toscano released I’m Good—her first album of original music—featuring powerful personal songwriting and a notable collaboration with R&B icon Usher.
Now entering an exciting new chapter, Pia is currently back in the studio, crafting her next body of work—music that promises to be as bold, heartfelt, and unforgettable as the voice behind it.
