Fresh off her American Idol victory, Hannah Harper is making another major career move.

The Season 24 champion has officially signed with WME for global representation, adding one of the entertainment industry's most influential agencies to her rapidly growing team.

Harper will be represented by agents Alex Sera, Carlile Willett, and Morgan Kenney as she continues building momentum following her national television breakthrough.

The rising star's journey began long before millions of viewers voted her to victory. Raised in Missouri, Harper started singing at just nine years old in her family's bluegrass gospel group. She later served as a worship leader at her local church before pursuing a solo career and eventually earning a recording contract with 19 Recordings and Atlantic Records.

In a heartfelt statement, Harper said the partnership felt like a natural fit.

"It's a blessing to work alongside people who share the same goal: creating great music, serving others well and pointing people to Jesus along the way."

The singer specifically praised agent Morgan Kenney, saying she immediately connected with her vision, heart, and passion for championing artists.

"I'm honored to be represented by WME and excited to see what doors this partnership may open. Grateful is an understatement."

The signing marks another significant milestone for the faith-driven singer, whose blend of country, gospel, and inspirational music helped win over both judges and fans during her American Idol run.

With a major agency now backing her career, fans are already wondering what's next for the breakout star-and whether a headline tour, new music, or high-profile collaborations could be just around the corner.
