HE’S THE MANN: Classical crossover artist and The Voice finalist Chris Mann has signed an exclusive worldwide deal with Faircraft/Republic, a new imprint headed up by multi-platinum producer and veteran A&R executive Ron Fair, and is gearing up for the fall release of his major label debut. Said Fair: “Chris is a unique world-class-across-the-board-talent that will be recording and entertaining for years to come. With Monte Lipman and Universal Republic behind us, he is going to crush it.” Mann is currently in the studio working on his debut album with producers Walter Afanasieff (Josh Groban, Andrea Bocelli, Celine Dion, Mariah Carey), Keith Thomas (Charlotte Church, Luther Vandross, Vanessa Williams), Marco Marinangeli (Groban, Il Divo), Marius de Vries (Madonna, U2, Jackie Evancho) and Bleu (Selena Gomez, Demi Lovato).
