Alexa Goddard signs record deal with Roc Nation

Alexa Goddard has signed a deal with Jay Z's Roc Nation.

The rising British singer confirmed the news this week on Twitter, writing:

"I am so so excited to tell you all that I have signed a record deal with @RocNation!!!!!!!"

Speaking to The Sun meanwhile about meeting her new boss earlier this year, Goddard said:

"I went up and introduced myself to Jay Z; I can't quite believe I did that.

"Then I met him the night after at another thing and he said, 'Oh, you're the one who had a lot to say for herself', which was a bit embarrassing, but he was joking."

Goddard rose to fame after covering R&B songs on YouTube, with her version of Soulja Boy's 'Turn My Swag On' reaching No.20 in the UK singles chart in 2010.

The singer will unleash her debut single 'Marilyn' on July 27.
