The British actor rose to worldwide stardom in 2008 following his breakout role as Edward Cullen in the film adaptations of the "Twilight" novels and he has been closely affiliated with the film's franchise ever since. In addition to "Twilight," media critics have been fixated on his on-and-off relationship with actress Kristen Stewart and the actor reportedly wants to change this.
"It's very important to him that he not be defined by the Twilight movies, or his relationship with Kristen," a source said last year.
"He's heavily invested in his music career and it will only be a matter of time that he has a number one hit on his hands," the source added.
Pattinson is currently in Canada filming his latest movie "Life," which chronicles Magnum photographer Dennis Stock's real life friendship with legendary actor James Dean. While he is very focused on the film, a source claims he is using "free time" to work towards his dreams of becoming a music star.
"During his free time on set, he is working on his music," the source said. "It's a bit tough because he's so busy, but of course he takes his guitar whenever he goes."
