Niall’s Early Years
Niall James Horan was born in Mullingar, County Westmeath in the Republic of Ireland. His father is Bobby Horan and his mother is Maura Gallagher. Niall has an older brother named Gred, and their parents divorced in 1998 when Niall was just 5 years old.
Niall lived at both parents homes before he decided to stay long-term with his dad, and he felt that living in Mullingar was the easiest thing to do back then because all of his friends were there.

He went to Colaiste Mhuire school and has been playing guitar since he was 11 years old. He’s performed across Ireland including one role as a support act for Lloyd Daniels in Dublin.
