Following the huge success of his new album x, Ed Sheeran will be launching his own record label imprint.
Under Warner Records, Sheeran's as yet un-named imprint will see the 'Don't' singer sign new acts and release music, with Sheeran already reportedly working with artists.
Speaking to The Sun, Sheeran explained the venture in more detail: "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."
Describing the type of artist he wants to sign, he explained he was looking for people similar to himself, “who came through the singer-songwriter scene.”
More details on the project are expected to be announced in the near future.
