The boys of One Direction continue to branch out on their own. Don't worry, no one else is quitting the band, but Louis Tomlinson has announced that he's starting his own record label.

In a new interview with The Sun (via J-14), Tomlinson revealed that he has founded his own imprint of Simon Cowell's label Syco (One Direction's label), fulfilling a lifelong dream.

"This is something I've wanted to do for some time, and to be given the opportunity to potentially give new artists a platform is an incredible feeling," he said. "I hope to sign some really exciting artists down the line."

Tomlinson hasn't officially announced any of the artists on his roster yet, but he is rumored to have signed fellow The X Factor UK alumnus Jack Walton. Tomlinson is also reportedly shopping around for a girl group to sign.

Despite having some potential artists on the line and an official announcement, Tomlinson's imprint has yet to receive a name.
