1993-2009: Early life
Horan was born on 13 September 1993 in Mullingar, County Westmeath, Ireland. He was a pupil at Coláiste Mhuire, Mullingar, an all boys' CBC secondary school. Horan played many local gigs including as a support act for Llyowd Daniels (in Dublin). He started playing the guitar in his childhood. In an interview, he referred to his guitar as "the best present I ever received for Christmas".
2010: The X Factor
In 2010, Horan applied as solo candidate for the The X Factor, singing Ne-yo's "So Sick". He sang Champagne Supernova, but did not qualify for Judges' Houses. After suggestion by guest judge Nicole Scherzinger, the five rejected boys were put into a band, thus qualifying for the "Groups" category.[2]After the elimination of F.Y.D., Diva Fever and Belle Amie within four weeks, they were Simon Cowell's last act in the competition. One Direction finished third behind runner-up Rebecca Ferguson and winner Matt Cardle. Immediately after the final, their song "Forever Young", which would have been released if they had won The X Factor, was leaked onto the internet.
