The 23-year-old British singer had recently revealed to the media that he's starting his own record label with Warner Music.
In an interview with The Sun (via Capital FM), the young talent said, "The door has now been opened, I've set up the label and I'm going to start signing people. It'll be an imprint that goes through Warner. But I'll get the rights back in about ten years. I've got my first signing in mind. I'm looking at people like me, who came through the singer-songwriter scene."
The A Team singer added, "I'm going to focus on this when I'm on tour next year. Hopefully the acts will be up and running by the time I take time off."
