British singer-songwriter Zayn Malik has signed with UTA for representation across music, film and television, among other areas, Variety has exclusively learned.

The former One Direction member’s last full-length effort was 2021’s “Nobody Is Listening,” and before that, he released 2018’s “Icarus Falls,” and 2016’s “Mind of Mine,” which gave way to the chart-topping and R&B-leaning single, “Pillowtalk.” Zayn is currently working on his fourth studio album, according to UTA.

In the years following “Nobody Is Listening,” Zayn released three songs; the most recent being his November cover of Jimi Hendrix’s “Angel,” in honor of the late guitarist’s birthday, and “To Begin Again,” a 2021 collaboration with Ingrid Michaelson. His previous duet partners include Taylor Swift, Chris Brown, Snakehips, M.I.A., Becky G and Sia, and he has also contributed to soundtracks alongside Taylor Swift on “I Don’t Wanna Live Forever,” for “Fifty Shades Darker,” and Zhavia Ward on “A Whole New World,” from the 2019 live-action “Aladdin” reboot.
