Simon Webbe has set up his own record label and signed Lucien Laviscount

Along with a few business partners, Simon Webbe of ‘My Soul Pleads For You’ fame has set up an independent record label.

Talking to Music Week, Webbe said that “over the years I’ve watched other people go out there and accomplish lots in this industry and now I want to use my expertise and help others achieve what they want as well”.

He added that he’s “looking at a girlband” (AREN’T WE ALL MATE) explaining that he thinks “it’s needed”. Poor Oh My!.

But the first release by SK Records will come from the alliteratively-named ex-Waterloo Road actor Lucien Laviscount. Simon described the single as “a dance track with an R&B vocal”.

This is not a drill.
