LOS ANGELES:Robert Pattinson’s dream of becoming a singer and compiling his own album seems to be coming true as he has reportedly been approached by music moghul Simon Cowell to sign a major record deal. The British heartthrob is a keen musician who plays piano and guitar and record bosses reckon his singing voice could turn out to be a big money-spinner. But the actor, who has lent voice to Twilight soundtrack, earlier said in an interview that he does not want his movie image to affect his singing career and does not want to be known as a pop star.

“He is reluctant to be turned into a pop star, he takes his music very seriously. He is a bit wary of signing up with Cowell who is, of course, associated with X Factor and pop,” said a source.
