Shannon Noll has found himself without a record label after his Sony contract ended at the end of 2009, and he doesn’t mind one bit. 
After completing his deal, which saw him release three albums and a greatest hits disc, Nollsy says he’s looking forward to a fresh start.
However he’s only got good words to say for the label which helped guide his career.
“It was great while it lasted and Sony were terrific to work with but it’s time to take some risks,” he told The Daily Telegraph. “When I came to Sydney to audition all those years ago, it was a stab in the dark. Now I am confident I’ve got the experience and the knowledge to freshen things up and I’m looking forward to the future with real excitement.”
Before making the leap, Shannon sought counsel from current touring buddy Jimmy Barnes.
“He reckoned it was time for me to start again and finally leave the Idol thing behind me for good,” he explained. “I’m going to find the best place for me because I feel like I’m holding the cards for the first time in a long time.”
I dare say he’ll have no shortage of offers. Personally I think he’d be a great fit for Michael Gudinski’s Liberation Blue label, but we’ll have to wait and see!
