Early Life: Born in Mullingar, County Westmeath Ireland on September 13, 1993, Niall Horan attended Coláiste Mhuire, a Christian school, where he performed with the school’s choir. His parents, Bobby Horan and Maura Gallagher, split when he was five years old. After spending a year living with their mother, Niall and his brother decided to move in with their father. He began playing the guitar while he was in elementary school, and performed with various groups as a young teen, including serving as musical support for Lloyd Daniels. Horan attended St. Kenny’s National School and taught himself to play guitar at age 11 by following YouTube tutorials. His aunt discovered his talent when she was in a car with him and he began singing–she originally thought the radio was on. As a teenager, Horan performed at the Mullingar Arts Centre during a fundraiser for the local football team The Shamrocks. One Direction: In 2010, when he was 16, Horan competed in the seventh season of “The X-Factor” in London, as a solo artist, but was subsequently invited to compete as part of a group created by the show called One Direction. Following “The X Factor,” One Direction was signed by Simon Cowell to a 2 million dollar Syco record contract. They began recording their debut album in Los Angeles in January 2011. The next month, a book licensed by the band “One Direction: Forever Young (Our Official X Factor Story)” was released and topped the Sunday Times Best Seller list. Later that month, the band participated in the X Factor Live Tour. The tour concluded in April and the band continued to record their debut album in London.

They embarked on their first headlining concert tour to promote the album. Tickets sold out in minutes and the tour was met with positive reviews from critics. In November 2012, One Direction released their second album, “Take Me Home.” It was another complete success and the group became the first boy band in US chart history to record two No. 1 albums in the same calendar year. They headlined a tour and played over 120 shows across four continents. “Midnight Memories”, the band’s third album, was released in November 2013.

In November 2015, they released their fifth album, “Made in the A.M.” Leading singles included “Drag Me Down” and “Perfect.” The album again reached No. 1 in multiple countries.

All five members of One Direction have released solo songs that have charted in the Top 40 in the United States.
