People always make fun of me when I
tell them that I listen to One Direction. They say that I’m a little too old
for them, and that they have no talent whatsoever. I honestly don’t mind it
because if they really knew how talented they are they would think again.
Starting from the bottom, to now making millions of dollars from their tours
doesn’t just happen. They didn’t come from famous parents or even a wealthy
family. I’m going to give you a little insight on their lives before there was
girls and paparazzi chasing them, and before they became the #1 boyband in the
entire world.
Starting off with Liam Payne, born
August 29, 1993 from West Midlands, England. Payne did not have an ordinary
childhood. He had a dysfunctional kidney so he was at the doctors often and
getting 32 injections a day. Like any kid, he was bullied but found his peace
through sports and music. At the age of 14, he auditioned for the X factor and didn’t make it due to his
age and how weak his voice was. Founder and judge Simon Cowell, told him to
“come back in two years.” Two years later, Cowell and Payne met face to face
again. He sang “Cry Me A River” and blew the judges away by how much he
improved. I guess you can say fate was involved in this, because he got 4 best
friends out of it and a dream so big he would’ve never imagined.
Harry
Styles, born February 1, 1994 in hometown Cheshire, England. When he was 7, his
parents got a divorce and later on his older sister, mom, and himself moved
further into the countryside. Before the X
Factor, he was attending high school and was working a part time job in a
bakery. Harry was in a band of his own, called “White Eskimo”. He was always
around music whether it was on his own time, or playing in his band. His mom
Anne convinced him to audition for the X
Factor, and within time he got the part. From working in a bakery to
working around the world as a musician is definitely impressive.
I will
only be doing Liam and Harry this week, but next week you’ll get more information
on Niall, Louis, and Zayn.
Till next week,
Brianne
