Zayn Malik - H 2015
The Brit singer tweeted that he hoped to make #realmusic from the #realme.
Zayn Malik, solo artist, is making things official.
The singer shared a photo on Twitter of his official signing with RCA. (One Direction is with Columbia; both record labels are part of Sony.)
This follows an announcement from earlier this week that Malik reportedly signed with Turn First Artists, where he'll be managed by Sarah Stennett, who also has guided the career of Iggy Azalea.
Simon Cowell later tweeted his congratulations.
