Zayn explains why he decided to ditch his last name

Zayn Malik has revealed why he has opted to go by the name of 'Zayn' in his solo career.

The singer is due to release his first album 'Mind of Name' on March 25.

The Brit is now going with a more streamlined name and he told Complex this is because it feels more natural.

Malik said: "It just fits me more.

"I don't know anybody who goes by the first name and their surname with friends and family.

"I wanted it to be more personal I guess in that sense."

The former One Direction man was speaking in promotion of his appearance on the cover of the April/May issue of Complex magazine.
