Chris Brown is set to collaborate with Aston Merrigold on his debut solo album.
The JLS star reportedly asked Chris to team up with him on his forthcoming LP.
The pair has bumped into each other a number of times in Hollywood while working in the music industry.
“Aston is a huge fan of Chris – he’d love to get his input musically on the new album,” a source told British newspaper The Sun.
“After meeting him a couple of times, he decided to bite the bullet and Chris was open to the idea of working together.”
It comes after Ashton’s boyband JLS revealed they were to part ways after placing as runners-up on The X Factor in 2008.
His fellow group members Marvin Humes, JB and Oritsé Williams are breaking up to pursue other projects.
British star Aston is discussing music with the American singer while he is in Los Angeles.
He is apparently in America for a few months to begin work on the new record.
The artists’ teams are now in talks about arranging time in their schedules to make it work.
Aston, 25, is carrying out some final duties with his fellow musician friends before they release their final album and complete a farewell tour in December.
