“Glee” Matthew Morrison Record Deal

Matthew Morrison is already dropping hits on FOX’s Glee, and in the fall of 2010, the entertainer is hoping to drop a few of his own when he releases his debut album.

According to PEOPLE Magazine, the former Broadway star has inked a recording contract with Mercury Records, and will soon begin recording his debut album, set for release this fall. Morrison, who plays Glee club mentor Will Schuester on the hit TV musical, will enter the recording studio shortly to begin production on his album.

Morrison, 31, performed on Broadway for ten years before nabbing the part of Schuester. The actor is up for a Golden Globe Award as Best Actor for the role.
