Maroon 5′s Adam Levine will soon become a singer who acts, when he appears in the upcoming second season of American Horror Story. Now, he’s announced that he’s signed another singing actor to his record label, 222 Records: Diego Boneta.

Boneta, a Latin music star, has appeared in Pretty Little Liars and the CW’s 90210, and will be seen in the upcoming summer movie Rock of Ages, playing the starring role of Drew. He’ll put out an EP, his first English-language release, later this year on Adam’s label.

In a statement, Adam said, “Diego Boneta is one of those rare artists that maneuver gracefully between being a truly exceptional musician and an incredible performing actor.” Boneta said, “Talk about an amazing opportunity…Adam understands both sides of the song — the process of creating it and then how to make it succeed.”

In other Adam news, he’ll appear on The Ellen DeGeneres Show Thursday to talk about the new Maroon 5 album Overexposed . The album’s first single, “Payphone,” is off to a great start: it’s debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 at #3, which is the highest any Maroon 5 song has ever entered the chart. It beats the group’s previous high debut, “Moves Like Jagger,” which entered at #8 last year.
