Olly Murs record deal with Simon Cowell’s Syco Music

When it was announced in last year’s “X Factor” that the final two contestants would be Joe McElderry and Olly Murs, many of the show’s fans had 25-year old Olly down as their winner. But unfortunately for him, he was beaten by 18-year old Joe.

But it looks like we have some great news now, for all those people that voted for Olly to win at the time. According to a recent report at thesun.co.uk, Olly has apparently signed 2 record deals recently, one with Epic, and the other with Simon Cowell’s Syco Music.

And what’s more is that the singer – currently on the X Factor’s live tour – is said to be working on his debut album already. Epic’s boss Nick Raphael described Olly as a big personality, and said that they hope to make a big record, that showcases his talents.

The signs are definitely looking good for the “X Factor” runner-up. Epic just happens to be the label that snapped up fellow runners-up JLS last year and turned them from the hopefuls they were then, to the biggest boyband in the country, with 2 Brits to their name.
