Liam’s journey began when he auditioned for The X Factor at age 14. Although he did not advance in his first attempt in 2008, he returned two years later and was placed in One Direction, which finished third in the competition. This pivotal moment set the stage for a meteoric rise to fame.

From 2010 to 2016, One Direction became one of the best-selling boy bands of all time. The group released five studio albums—Up All Night, Take Me Home, Midnight Memories, Four, and Made in the A.M.—selling over 70 million records worldwide.

Their infectious hits like “What Makes You Beautiful” and “Story of My Life” resonated with fans globally, earning them numerous awards including Brit Awards and American Music Awards.
