Britain's Got Talent star Ronan Parke has reportedly been dropped by Simon Cowell's record label after less than a year.
The 13-year-old landed a joint deal with Syco and Sony Music last July after finishing second on the fifth series of Cowell's ITV show.
However, a spokesperson for Parke has told Metro that the singer decided to go in a "different direction" last month and has now parted ways with the labels.
Parke released just one album during his time with Syco and Sony, a self-titled record that peaked at 22 on the UK charts upon its release in October.
The sole single from his LP, a cover of Vanessa Carlton's 'A Thousand Miles', failed to chart.
Parke was signed before last year's Britain's Got Talent winner Jai McDowall landed his own deal last August. The Scottish singer was also dropped by Cowell in March.
