Justin Keeps True To His Roots & Helps Out A Mouseketeer

Justin Timberlake is giving a fellow Mouseketeer a big break – he’s signing him to his label.

Matt Morris, who was once in the band MMC with JC Chasez, is no stranger to the biz, having co-written songs for Kelly Clarkson, Christina Aguilera, and even Justin himself. Justin said he was thrilled to bring Matt onto his Tennman label, explaining Matt is like:

“Ray LaMontagne meets Elton John meets Stevie Wonder meets Rufus Wainwright. It├óΓé¼Γäós time for the birth of the hybrid artist.├óΓé¼┬¥

Fine, we’ll give him a listen, if you finally get your ass back in the studio too! Where’s your music JT?!
