Earlier this month, Louis Tomlinson was gearing up to set foot on his solo career. Like the rest of his previous crew, he was determined to kick off his solo professional career, according to British platform The Sun.
"Louis is a brilliant songwriter and had not initially planned his own solo career," an unnamed source reportedly told The Sun. "But he's been back in the studio and has been working on some really amazing music."
"He's played some to the powers that be at Syco, who are really excited," they said. "They think he could be a real success as a solo artist, given his proven ability to write hit records and massive fanbase as part of 1D."
