“Even though he has carved a decent career as an award-winning DJ on 2FM, he still knows deep down that he is the only member of Westlife to never release a solo album.
“He wants to right that wrong with an album of his own and he is keen to sign to a British record label as opposed to an Irish one,” the insider added.
However, it is yet to be confirmed that the 37-year-old will represent Ireland in the famed music contest.
Although his former bandmate Kian Egan has given him his vote of confidence for the possible entry.
