Signature

Niall James Horan (/ˈnaɪəl ˈhɔːrən/ NY-əl HOR-ən;[1][2] born 13 September 1993) is an Irish singer and songwriter. He rose to prominence as a member of the boy band One Direction, formed in 2010 on the singing competition The X Factor. The group released five albums and went on to become one of the best-selling boy bands of all time.

After the band declared a hiatus in 2016, Horan signed a recording deal as a solo artist with Capitol Records. He has since released three albums: Flicker (2017), Heartbreak Weather (2020), and The Show (2023). Flicker debuted at No. 1 in Ireland and the US, and reached the top three in Australia and the UK. The album's first two singles, "This Town" and "Slow Hands", reached the top 20 in several countries. Heartbreak Weather was released in March 2020, and debuted at No. 1 in the UK, Ireland and Mexico, and at No. 4 in the US.[3]

Horan released his third studio album, The Show, in June 2023,[4] after dropping the singles "Heaven" in February and "Meltdown" in April.[5]

Early life

Niall James Horan was born on 13 September 1993 in Mullingar, Westmeath, Ireland.[6] He has an older brother, Greg, who was born in 1987.[7] His parents, Bobby Horan and Maura Gallagher (née Nolan),[8] divorced when he was five years old, so he and his brother lived with their mother for a year. After spending a year apart from their father, they later decided to move in with him.[9] He had asthma as a child.[10]

Greg received a guitar for his 15th birthday which he only used once and then it "sat around for a while" until Horan himself picked it up.[11] Horan, then aged 11, taught himself how to play by following YouTube tutorials. His aunt discovered his singing ability one day when she was in the car with Horan as he started singing, and she had initially thought that the radio was on.[12] As a teenager, he performed at the Mullingar Arts Centre during a fundraiser for the local football team, the Shamrocks. He also bagged a support slot with former X Factor contestant Lloyd Daniels at the Academy club in Dublin.[13]

Career

2010–2015: The X Factor and One Direction

In 2010, at 16 years old, Horan auditioned for the seventh series of The X Factor in Dublin.[14] He sang "So Sick" and received mixed comments from the judges. Louis Walsh was in his favour, but Cheryl Cole and guest judge Katy Perry felt that he needed some time to grow. Simon Cowell voted to let him through, Cole said no, Walsh said yes, and Perry decided to vote yes. Horan was then put through to bootcamp. At bootcamp, he sang "Champagne Supernova", but failed to qualify for the category. After a suggestion from guest judge Nicole Scherzinger, Horan was put in a group with four boys who also failed to move on in the competition, and since they were too good to let go, the judges decided to agree with Scherzinger. Horan along with Harry Styles, Liam Payne, Louis Tomlinson, and Zayn Malik formed One Direction. Styles came up with the band name, which he thought would sound good when announcer Peter Dickson read their name out on the live shows. Within the first four weeks of the live shows, they were Cowell's last act in the competition. They finished in 3rd place, behind runner-up Rebecca Ferguson and winner Matt Cardle.

Horan with One Direction on The X Factor Live Tour in 2011

Following The X Factor, One Direction was signed by Cowell to a reported £2 million Syco record contract. They began recording their debut album in Los Angeles in January 2011. That February, the band and other contestants from the series participated in The X Factor Live Tour. One Direction's debut single, "What Makes You Beautiful", was released in September 2011. The song reached number one in several countries.[15][16][17][18] Subsequent singles, "Gotta Be You" and "One Thing" received success,[19][20] becoming top ten hits in the UK. In November of that year, the group's debut album "Up All Night" was released in Ireland and the UK, reaching number one and number two on the charts, respectively. The album was released internationally in March 2012, and One Direction became the first UK group to have their debut album reach number one in the United States.[21] To promote the album, they embarked on their first headlining concert tour, the Up All Night Tour.[22] In September 2012, the group released "Live While We're Young", the lead single from their upcoming second album, which peaked at number three in the UK and US.[23][24] The album's second single, "Little Things," spawned the band's second number one single in the UK.[25] In November 2012, Take Me Home, One Direction's second album, was released. It reached number one in over 35 countries,[26][27][28][29] and, after reaching number one on the Billboard 200, the group became the first boy band in US chart history to record two number-one albums in the same calendar year alongside becoming the first group since 2008 to record two number-one albums in the same year.[30] To support the album, they embarked on their second headlining tour, the Take Me Home Tour, playing over 120 shows over four continents. In August 2013, One Direction: This Is Us, a 3-D documentary concert film was released and was a box office success, grossing over $68.5 million.[31][32][33]

The band's third studio album, Midnight Memories, was released on 25 November 2013. It was the best-selling album worldwide in 2013 with 4 million copies sold globally.[34] Following the album's release, the group embarked on the Where We Are Tour.[35][36] The tour grossed over $290 million and was the highest-grossing tour of 2014, the 15th highest-grossing concert tour of all time, and is still the highest-grossing tour of all time by a vocal group.[37] In November 2014, One Direction released their fourth album, Four. The album debuted number one in 18 countries,[38] and One Direction became the only group in the 58-year history of the Billboard 200 albums chart to have their first four albums debut at number one.[39] In February 2015, the band embarked on the On The Road Again Tour, playing shows in Australia, Asia, Africa, Europe, and North America. In November 2015, Made in the A.M., their fifth album, was released. Led by singles "Drag Me Down" and "Perfect", the album reached number one in multiple countries, including the UK, while it reached number two on the US Billboard 200. Following the release of the album the group went on an indefinite hiatus.[40][41]
