FOX’s “Glee” Club teacher goes solo this fall

Matthew Morrison will be singing out of the classroom, as the 31-year-old Glee star has just signed a deal with Mercury Records.  Glee, which was given a early pick-up for a second season, was the 2010 People’s Choice Awards for Favorite New TV Comedy. 

The breakout FOX hit is nominated for four Golden Globe Awards — including Best Actor in a Television Comedy for Morrison, who also appeared in the Broadway version of Footloose and was nominated for a Tony for The Light in the Plaza.

Morrison’s first album is set to be release around the same time Glee starts season two this fall.
