Louis Tomlinson

As a member of one of the best selling boy bands of all time (One Direction), Louis Tomlinson shot to worldwide fame in 2010 when he auditioned on The X-Factor. Louis started the competition as a solo artist. But that wasn’t to be as he failed to make it through in the “boys” category. That wasn’t the end of it though, in fact that was the start of something incredible! Louis was put with four other boys who hadn’t made the cut as solo artists. And that’s it, the five-piece boy band called “One Direction” was born. The group went on to sell over 70 million records! Louis has also achieved global success as a solo artist, music producer and fashion designer. Amazing achievements from a lad born and raised in Bessacarr.
