According to USA Today, this is not his first foray into the music industry. The up-and-comer was discovered by Limp Bizkit lead singer Fred Durst while he was still studying at Berklee College of Music and was subsequently signed to Capitol Records in 2007. That led to his chance meeting with Perry and their new promising partnership.

"Ferras is a man with a message, and a unique lyrical way of communicating his perspective on life that makes you feel connected to every note when you listen," the "Dark Horse" singer said in a statement about the signing. "I believe he is going to be an important artist to watch unfold."
