Best known for being the member of boy band One Direction, Liam Payne is a British singer born on August 29, 1993. He first rose to prominence as a contestant in the fifth season of television show The X Factor during 2008. Despite of failing to retain his position in the competition and getting eliminated at a very early stage, the judge Simon Cowell told Liam that he poses the talent and should audition for the show again after a couple of more years preparation. Following the judges suggestion, Liam Payne re-auditioned for the show in 2010 but after realizing that his survival in the competition as a solo artist was pretty difficult, the judges placed him in a group named One Direction which included four more solo contestants Zayn Malik, Louis Tomilson, Niall Horan and Harry Styles.
