Singer-songwriter Vincent Mason, known for his viral hit “Hell Is a Dance Floor,” has signed a label deal with Interscope Records/UMG Nashville/Music Soup, the companies tell Billboard. Mason has been releasing music via Music Soup since his first release, so the deal marks a continuation of his work with that company.

The Georgia native’s debut EP, Can’t Just Be Me, releases Wednesday (May 22). He co-wrote and co-produced every track on the six-song project, which includes previously-released songs “Hell is a Dance Floor,” “Livin’ Proof” and “May Be.”
