Louis Tomlinson announces plans to launch a management company to help develop new artists as he admits having an imprint ‘didn’t work for him’
Louis Tomlinson has revealed his plans to start his own management company to help develop new music talent in the industry.
The singer, 29, who rose to fame as one fifth of One Direction, revealed via Twitter he dreams of helping to develop and guide the next generation of music stars.
Louis said he previously had an imprint – a trademark or brand and not a company – but was unable to sign artists himself so it ‘didn’t work for him’.

On Saturday he took to Twitter and wrote: ‘I always dreamed of having my own label, having an imprint never really worked for me because I still had to have someone else’s blessing to sign people.
‘People I believed in massively but unfortunately didn’t fit the traditional pop role hence never doing the deals….
‘So I’ve decided to put it out there in the world today. I’m going to start my own music management company to help develop new artists. Watch this space
‘I just wanted to take the first step of actualising the idea but at this stage that’s all this is. An idea!
‘P.s. a management company not a label (sic)’
