One Direction How It All Began

One Direction are an English/Irish boy band. They were formed in London in 2010, the members of 1D include Liam Payne, Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Louis Tomlinson and Harry Styles. The boys of One Direction had all entered the popular British singing competition The X-Factor in 2010 as solo artists but after failing to make the cut at boot camp as solo acts, guest judge Nicole Shcherzinger suggested the boys should come back to the competition but entering into the bands category to form a five piece boy band. The boys' bands popularity grew each week as they performed live on The X-factor stage.. One direction finished third in 2010 series of The X-Factor  but The boys  still managed to get signed with Simon Cowell's record label Syco Records. One Direction have became one of the most successful acts to come out of the X-Factor and have even cracked America earlier this year.

I wasnt particularly a big fan of One Direction when they were performing on The X-Factor but when they released their first single "What Makes You Beautiful" in 2011, I became a huge fan and have loved all their songs ever since.
