REPUBLIC FINDS STEINFELD PERFECT FOR POP

Pitch Perfect 2 Star Hailee Steinfeld Inks Deal With House of Lipman

2012's Pitch Perfect brought you Anna Kendrick's "Cups," which went Top 10 at Pop radio and Top 3 at Hot AC. This year's sequel may just bring the biz another star from the acting world.

Academy Award-nominated actress and co-star of the top-grossing movie in America this week, Hailee Steinfeld, has inked a deal with Republic Records.

Steinfeld is currently in the studio working on her debut release with an array of production and songwriting specialists including Captain Cuts (Walk the Moon's "Shut Up and Dance"), The Futuristics (Natalie La Rose's "Somebody") and Mattman & Robin (Tove Lo, Taylor Swift).

“The moment that we met Hailee we found her commitment to music inspiring," shared EVP Charlie Walk (pictured left with Steinfeld). "She has the vision, natural talent and dedication to compete at the highest level. We are thrilled to be a part of her musical journey.”

After signing the deal, label honcho Monte Lipman requested she sing the word "ethos" in as many keys as possible; it's now his ringtone.
