His musical career began when he entered the televised music competition series The X Factor (airing on ITV) as a solo contestant in 2010. As a solo artist, he was eliminated early, but later brought back to join the boy band, One Direction alongside Niall Horan, Liam Payne, Louis Tomlinson and Zayn Malik.
