Former One Directioner Zayn Malik, who bailed on boy band comrades Harry, Niall, Louis and Liam back in March, has made good of his promise to be a normal 22-year-old make something of himself outside of 1D-mania by signing a record deal.
The 22-year-old let fans know he’s joined RCA – whose roster of artists includes Alicia Keys, Britney Spears, Chris Brown, Christina Aguilera, Hilary Duff, Miley Cyrus and Malik’s former-boy-band-member-in-arms Justin Timberlake – by tweeting a photo of himself signing contract papers.
I guess I never explained why I left , it was for this moment to be given the opportunity to show you who i really am! #realmusic #RCA !!
