U.S. actress, singer and songwriter Emily Osment is to release her first full-length album next year, Lionsgate announced Wednesday.
The company said it has acquired rights through its joint venture with Wind-up Records' music publishing affiliates to songs written by the 17-year-old co-star of TV's "Hannah Montana."
The announcement was made by Lionsgate Music President Jay Faires.
Osment has begun writing material for her first album, which is scheduled for release next summer, Lionsgate said.
"It's exciting to be working with a young artist who has already proven herself in Lionsgate's core businesses of film and TV, and we look forward to working with Emily and the Wind-up Records team as she makes her move into music," Faires said in a statement.
"I am so excited I am getting the chance to finally share my music with everyone," Osment said. "I have been playing guitar and writing songs since I was little so it seems like this album has been in process for years. The opportunities and amazing people I have been so fortunate to work with have literally been a dream come true. I can't wait for all of my very patient fans to hear the music that's been such a huge part of my life for the past two years."
Osment's debut EP, "All The Right Wrongs," was released Oct. 27.
