On September 13, 1993, Niall was born in Mullingar, County Westmeath, Ireland. His parents, Bobby Horan and Maura Gallagher, welcomed him into the world.
Niall’s elder brother, Greg Horan, is also from a musical background.
When Niall was five years old, his parents divorced, and he and his brother split their time between their father’s and mother’s houses. He said that from an early age, his parents’ love and support helped him develop a passion for music.
Since he was a little boy, Niall has enjoyed music, and at the age of eleven, he picked up the guitar.
Later in 2010, he made an application for The X Factor, a British TV program. Alongside Liam Payne, Zayn Malik, Louis Tomlinson, and Harry Styles, he joined One Direction.
