Ellen DeGeneres unveiled Tom Andrews, a 16-year-old singer from the U.K., as the latest signing to her eleveneleven record label.

DeGeneres introduced Andrews to her talk show audience in an episode airing this afternoon, during which the teen spoke with DeGeneres briefly and then performed James Brown’s “It’s a Man’s Man’s Man’s World.”

During the interview, DeGeneres recalled tracking down Andrews by phone. “I just called you of the blue at home and I said, ‘Hi, I’m Ellen and come here to the show’,” she said. “So, here you are.”

Andrews said he started singing three years ago after auditioning for a competition. “My mom saw an ad in a newspaper. It was just for a singing contest and she said, ‘Why don’t you enter? It will be fun.’ So I did,” Andrews said. “I sung ‘Let it Be’ and the guy said, ‘Where are your parents? You are amazing.’”

DeGeneres’ first signing to eleveneleven is 12-year-old Greyson Chance, who became a YouTube sensation in a matter of days after covering Lady Gaga’s “Paparazzi” at a school talent show. Chance’s debut album is slated for release this fall.
